TriMet chief: Need for new I-5 Bridge remains He says I-5 corridor still congested, may have gotten worse

It’s been 16 months since the Columbia River Crossing project office closed its doors for good.

Is it time to revisit the failed Interstate 5 Bridge replacement effort? At least one leader in Portland thinks so.

TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane told the Portland Tribune in an article published Thursday that he believes Washington and Oregon need to address a problem that didn’t go away when the CRC did. The I-5 corridor remains chronically congested, and conditions have gotten worse by many accounts.
