I-5 Bridge Light Rail Delayed, Costs Hit $14.4 Billion

The Interstate Bridge Replacement Program's estimated cost has doubled to $14.4 billion, and Vancouver's light rail extension to Library Square now has no timeline. The first funded phase at $5.68 billion covers the new span but not the tracks. Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle says the city won't accept a 90-foot elevated station near the waterfront as a permanent endpoint. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/light-rail-to-nowhere-surging-costs-undercut-i-5-bridge-transit-plan/ #I5Bridge #LightRail #VancouverWA #InterstateBridge #TransportationWA #ClarkCounty #WashingtonState #IBRProgram #ColumbiaRiver #Infrastructure ---
