Published 1 month ago
Description
Phase one of the Interstate Bridge Replacement Project is short $1.4 billion, yet both Oregon and Washington are pressing forward, citing the risk of losing federal money. Critics including Rep. John Ley and Portland economist Joe Cortright warn that once construction begins in July 2028, there will be no turning back on a project now priced at nearly $15 billion. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/video-unfunded-and-over-budget-the-15-billion-gamble-on-i-5-bridge-project/ #I5Bridge #InterstateBridgeReplacement #Columbia River #LightRail #Transportation #WashingtonState #Oregon #ClarkCounty #Vancouver #Taxpayers
