Interstate Bridge Replacement Program - Greg Johnson, Interstate Bridge Replacement Program

The Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) program is currently one of the largest transportation megaprojects in the US.  It is a partnership between the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking to replace an over 100-year-old, earthquake-vulnerable bridge that carries Interstate 5 over the Columbia River between these two states.  The challenges associated with modernizing this five-mile corridor and making it multimodal are immense, with numerous interests and stakeholders. The approach that the IBR team has taken in involving the community has been innovative and created great support, as we are on the cusp of entering the construction phase.
