I removed the update tag from the replacement section and added a current event tag.
I also added some links to the current controversy over the bridge, and elaborated a bit about them. What i've added doesn't fully cover all of what's going on right now, so please feel free to add more to it. Jf00830 ( talk) 19:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Following the Columbia River Crossing project in the press, I've always assumed that the current Interstate Bridge(s) would be demolished - but I've never seen anything one way or the other on that issue. I'd like to see mention of that in this article, but don't know where to go to get sourced information that's not OR. Or is it that this question hasn't even been considered in the project planning yet? Ipoellet ( talk) 16:17, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Since this bridge carries Interstate-5, I assume that there is no pedestrian or bicycle traffic allowed on the bridge, but I'm only just assuming. Can anyone confirm that and make it a part of the article? - ErinHowarth ( talk) 07:07, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
The paragraph "In 2008, as fuel prices increased...." cites a biased source. The cited article is an opinion piece titled Bridge to Disaster and subtitled "A Proposed New 12-Lane Bridge over the Columbia River Will Cost $4.2 Billion, Increase Traffic, and Do Little to Alleviate Climate Change. What the Hell Are We Thinking?". This opinion piece clearly shows a bias against the options under consideration by the lead government agencies. It is also factually misleading when it states:
"In addition, many on the Portland side of the river fear that a 12-lane highway bridge to Vancouver, which has virtually no land use restrictions, will encourage suburban sprawl and development north of the river." (emphasis added)
The opinion piece's author ignores state laws and local ordinances that restrict land use on the north side of the Columbia River. Washington State has two important laws, the Growth Management Act and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), which govern land use. Clark County and the City of Vancouver implement those laws with very detailed local ordinances. These ordinances impose significant land use restrictions. For these ordinances, see:

I personally am for a larger than the existing one coupled with a West-Side Bypass that adds third bridge to the west, but I think I am in the minority on that.

There is set of at least 7 or 8 Air Sirens rigged in the area of this bridge for the purposes of warning Interstate Traffic of an impending bridge lift. Would anyone mind if I did a brief write-up with pics for this fascinating rare warning system for a modern bridge? I might hold off until I can get Audio of the sirens sounding, but that could be a far off dream... It's really neat to hear them wail :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanSafyre ( talk • contribs) 20:48, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

@ ChessEric: The project budget has not been finalized, so using "set" is misleading. We only have estimates, and they should be in ranges due to the various design alterations that are still on the table. I don't know where Willamette Week is pulling their numbers from, but it does not match the documents published on WSDOT's project page. Sounder Bruce 22:43, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
