Galloping Gertie, officially known as the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, was built using a suspension bridge design, which was innovative at the time. Construction began in 1938, and the bridge was completed in July 1940. Its design featured a narrow roadway and a unique aerodynamic profile, which ultimately contributed to its infamous oscillations. The bridge collapsed just a few months later, on November 7, 1940, due to aeroelastic flutter caused by high winds.
