WA Lawmakers Revive Plans To Replace I-5 Bridge

(Olympia, WA)  --  Washington state lawmakers are moving forward with an effort to replace the Interstate 5 bridge across the Columbia River.  The measure introduced last week would declare replacing the span a project of "statewide significance."  If the bipartisan bill passes, Senate Bill 5806 would direct Washington Governor Jay Inslee to work with Oregon Governor Kate Brown to create an action committee of stakeholders and transportation officials.  It would also earmark 350-thousand dollars  for research, and directs the committee to come back at the end of this year with recommendations.
