Two Bridges, One Growing Bill for Clark County
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Vancouver resident Peter Bracchi examines how two very different projects, the Interstate Bridge Replacement and the Bridge Shelter, share a common pattern: costs and commitments that keep expanding. The IBR's estimated price has grown from roughly $3 billion to $14.4 billion, while the Bridge Shelter carries a roughly $22 million capital cost plus millions in annual operations, and Clark County is increasingly tied to both. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-two-bridges-one-expanding-bill/ #Opinion #InterstateBridgeReplacement #BridgeShelter #ClarkCounty #Vancouver #Homelessness #Transportation #IBR #WashingtonState #Taxpayers
