From the archives: Potholes cause problems on bridge

Tri-City Herald
The old Pasco-Kennewick bridge was becoming a difficult and risky drive when this photo was published in 1962. Motorists swerving to avoid potholes were in danger of hitting oncoming traffic, as most road markings on the bridge had worn away. This near-accident was photographed by Tri-City Herald photographer Ralph Smith, who shot a number of traffic mishaps on the bridge.
