I love this bridge. The old Columbia River I-5 crossing. Also the current Columbia River Crossing. When we first moved here there was legislation in the works to replace this old bridge with a sleeker, wider, faster bridge including lightrail. There was a story about the new CRC everyday in our local paper until the deal between Oregon and Washington broke down. I suppose it will need to be replaced at some point because traffic is just awful at rush hour, and every now and then the bridge lifts to let a boat pass through, and that really snarls things up too. But once it's replaced it won't have the same charm. This old sage green bridge is a style that is pretty common in Washington, and it's a style I've really come to love. I happen to think it's looking especially radiant here in the setting sun
