Is the IBR Bridge Design Shortchanging Drivers?
Camas resident Douglas Tweet argues the IBR I-5 bridge design allocates roughly half its width to modes used by just 2.3% of travelers, while squeezing vehicles, freight trucks, and emergency responders into the remaining space. He also flags that bridge construction costs ballooned from $7.5 billion to $17.7 billion — figures concealed until public records requests forced disclosure in January 2026. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-ibr-i-5-bridge-space-allocation-grossly-unfair-2/ #IBR #I5Bridge #Interstate BridgeReplacement #ClarkCounty #Transportation #Opinion #Vancouver #WashingtonState #Freight #Tolls
