What was behind the I-5 bridge project getting shot down? I listen to Lars Larson once in awhile and it seems Oregon has run into a roadblock trying to push it through.

That was Bray’s essay, not mine.

Bray, what do you say?

That was a huge boondoggle that was fatally flawed with the need to put Light Rail on it. That made the bridge so low so the train could make the grade it stopped much of the boat traffic.

It turned into a waste of 200 million and both WA and OR legislatures ended up voting it down. Like all Marxists they made filled it with all sorts of pork it collapsed on its own weight.
