A project to replace the Interstate 5 bridge across the Columbia River between Washington and Oregon. The current bridge is considered obsolete due to narrow lanes, lack of shoulders, and inability to meet traffic demand. The project is awaiting a decision from the U.S. Coast Guard on whether the new bridge will be a fixed span or a movable span, which will significantly affect the cost estimate.
