Description

The Interstate Bridge Replacement Program is a mega-project to replace the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. The project includes building a new high-level bridge with 115' vertical clearance, widening five miles of freeway, and constructing seven intersections. The project is planned to be executed in phases stretching into the 2040s, with a total estimated cost that has more than doubled from $6 billion to as much as $15.2 billion. The project is controversial due to its high cost, long timeline, and concerns about financial commitment and tolling impacts.
