GEAC: Interstate Bridge Program

On Second Wednesdays, our Government and Economic Affairs Committee (GEAC) hosts the meeting and brings important presentations to the table. We'd also like to extend a thank you to Morningstar at Laurelhurst for allowing us to use their meeting room each month!

For October's meeting, we will be hearing some updates about the i5 bridge project through representatives of the Interstate Bridge Program. 

The Interstate 5 corridor is a critical lifeline for the region and the nation, connecting Oregon and Washington to support jobs and move billions in goods each year. To meet the needs of today’s travelers and tomorrow’s growth, the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Program is planning a modern, earthquake-resilient bridge across the Columbia River. The new multimodal structure and I-5 corridor improvements will enhance mobility for freight, transit and drivers — strengthening the connection between our communities.
