The state Department of Transportation says the concrete McMillin Bridge outside Orting on state Route 162 is too narrow for traffic, rating it "functionally obsolete."
Pierce County and several local groups have been awarded nearly $1.1 million in state grants to improve and protect salmon habitat.
Two low-rated bridges that connect thousands of commuters each day to River Road are at different stages in their replacement.
The total cost for improving river levees and other flood control structures in Pierce County is projected to reach more than $350 million over the next 20 years.
Cities in Pierce County will soon be able to apply for a portion of the new countywide flood-control tax so they can fund their own local stormwater and flood projects.
