Comment on UPDATED: CRC Proponents, Lazy C Not Letting a Good Crisis Go To Waste by Goldenoldie

Glad to hear nobody was killed.

If you take a look at the collapsed portion of the bridge, the foundation piers remain standing. This was a structural issue on the steel truss mechanisms…nothing to do with the foundation.

One talking point error by those who claim the “old bridge” is outdated and was built in 1917. It was reconstructed in 1959.

What the pro-loo rail crossing folks need to take into consideration is simple. A barge could do a lot more damage to structural integrity on the new bridge, especially if there isn’t enough clearance for it to pass through safely…and we have a lot of barge traffic on the C-River.

Another consideration on I-5 bridges. The current crossing has 136.2′ vertical clearance below the bridge. The proposed conceptual bridge has 116′. What would happen to river traffic if water levels continued to rise…especially during flood years?

Just some rambling thoughts.

State Reps Moeller(D 49th) and Wylie(D-49th) are sponsors of
House Bill 1975 – 2013-14
Revised for 1st Substitute: Authorizing toll revenue bonds for the financing of the Columbia river crossing project.

In Olympia a public hearing was held, and this is how Moeller responded to citizens and Vancouver business owners who came to testify, 3 minutes each, as reported by OregonLive.com.

Moeller, who sits on the House Transportation Committee and was present during the hearing, said he’s heard it all before, and so have his fellow legislators. Moeller said his colleagues weren’t exactly thrilled to listen to the project’s opponents say their pieces.
“They were bored to tears,” he said. “They were quite honestly disgusted with the testimony.”
