Washington plans $1 billion to replace Interstate 5 bridge April 03 2021
As Washington shapes plans to replace the I-5 bridge crossing the Columbia River, Oregon lawmakers wait and watch.
As Washington shows early signs of getting serious about replacing the Interstate 5 bridge, Oregon s lawmakers said Wednesday, March 31, they want to be wooed.
Oregon still feels like the bride left waiting at the altar, said Sen. Lee Beyer, D-Springfield, after the Washington State Senate infamously refused in 2013 to fund a replacement for the century-old bridge.
And because the massive project will have a massive price tag, Oregon lawmakers first want to see proposals from their neighbors to the north, and likewise see what may come from the Biden Administration s newly revealed infrastructure plan.
