Growing travel demand + aging infrastructure = a critical need for a replacement bridge. The IBR Program is planning for a bridge that will serve travel needs today and in the future. Learn more at interstatebridge.org

Did you know the aging Interstate Bridge lacks safety shoulders and auxiliary lanes? The area's current crash rate is over three times higher than state averages. Program investments will make driving in this corridor safer.

Imagine an Interstate Bridge that will: ⚠️ Withstand earthquakes 🛣️ Provide improved multimodal access 🚲 Have dedicated, accessible shared use paths 🚨 Include safety shoulders and auxiliary lanes We're creating a safer way for all users to cross the Columbia River.


Unimpaired freight movement is crucial to our regional and national economies. $132 million in freight commodity value crosses the bridge every day. Watch this video to see how a replacement bridge will improve freight mobility in the Program area. youtube.com/watch?v=bX6kub…

The aging Interstate Bridge costs $1.2 million per year to operate and maintain. If not replaced, the bridge is estimated to require $270 million in capital maintenance by 2040 — a figure that does not include the cost of a seismic retrofit.

Transit has always been part of the Interstate Bridge. Electric streetcars operated across the bridge from the day it opened in 1917 until 1940. Our Program’s transit investments will improve multimodal access and travel time reliability for people crossing the Columbia River.

The Interstate Bridge ranks #31 on @Truck_Research's 2025 list of the 100 worst bottlenecks for trucks across the nation. A replacement bridge that improves safety and addresses congestion for freight is crucial for our regional and national economies. truckingresearch.org/2025/02/top-10…


This vintage photo of the Interstate Bridge's original span, built in 1917, doesn't require a filter to show its age. Our region needs a modern bridge built for the future—not one that looks like it belongs on a postcard from the 30s.
