The Columbia River Crossing is one of the most important, complex and costly public
works projects in the Pacific Northwest. A broad base of support throughout Oregon
and Washington will be necessary to move the project to and through the construction
phase. A coalition of businesses, farm organizations, labor unions, ports and civic
organizations will demonstrate to federal and state officials that a broad community
believes that the crossing project is essential to the economic prosperity of the
region, the west coast and the nation. Should this project fail to move forward,
congestion on the I-5 Bridge and its approaches is expected to increase from 4-6
hours each day, to as many as 16 hours each day. The resulting impact to our regional
and national economy cannot be overstated. This will limit access to workforce and
marketplace opportunities and have negative impacts on our quality of life.
