BREMERTON — The first cars drove across the new Manette Bridge in Bremerton at noon Thursday after a ceremony celebrating the $58 million bridge and the 81-year-old bridge it replaces.

The old bridge closed to traffic in July and will now be demolished.

The Kitsap Sun reports the Highway 303 bridge over the Washington Narrows is a key connector between west and east Bremerton.
