Concerned about the Fox Island Bridge replacement? Here’s what buyers and homeowners actually need to know. While Pierce County has completed planning studies for a future replacement of the 1954 bridge, construction is still years away and access to the island will remain open throughout the process. With no tolls proposed and funding expected to be spread across federal, state, and local sources, the long-term outlook points toward improved safety, stronger infrastructure, and continued property value stability for Fox Island homeowners.
