The Columbia River Crossing project is aimed at improving the mobility, reliability, and accessibility for automobile, freight, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian users of the I-5 corridor from State Route 500 in Vancouver to approximately Columbia Boulevard in Portland. Through an inclusive, collaborative process, this project will deliver a financially feasible solution that strengthens the regional economy and strives to support community livability. The I-5 bridge is a major lifeline for our community, linking the two cities and carrying the freight, commuters, and traffic that support the economy and vitality of the region and the entire West Coast. While it has served us well over 88 years, the bridge has been stretched far beyond capacity-the hours of stop-and-go traffic grow every year. Expected growth will only make congestion worse, causing longer and longer delays. Transportation agencies in the bi-state region have joined together to lead development of an improved crossing. In the coming years, we will evaluate possible solutions to the problems. This won't be an easy task-and we need your help. Read on to better understand the problem, contact us with your comments and suggestions, and take our online survey. Help shape the future of this vital community connection!
