[img_assist|nid=2056|title=This project addresses congestion on I-5 bridge between Vancouver and Columbia Blvd|desc=|link=popup|align=left|width=70|height=94]Columbia River Crossing is a bridge, transit and highway improvement project to address the congestion on I-5 between SR 500 in Vancouver and Columbia Boulevard in Portland. It is lead by the Oregon and Washington departments of transportation which are working to identify ways to improve traffic flow, safety and transit service on this stretch of highway.

The project is at an important decision time about which bridge and transit options to include in the draft environmental impact statement. As a reader of this forum, you might be interested in commenting on the transit and bridge recommendations because the ideas that are advanced are the only ones that will be considered for further analysis.
