(Vancouver, WA)  --  A vote by the Vancouver City Council supports an effort to declare replacing the Interstate 5 Bridge over the Columbia River a project of statewide importance.  The Council is hoping the resolution will add to the voices calling on the Washington State Legislature to act more quickly to ease congestion along the I-5 corridor.  The Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council, which includes Oregon Metro, is expected to vote today on the resolution.  The "Spokesman-Review" reports lawmakers are expected this week to introduce legislation that also would call for prioritizing the I-5 corridor.
