- Updated costs for Interstate Bridge won’t happen until next yearThe Columbia River Crossing project’s failure due to tolling, light rail extension, and cost issues has resurfaced as the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program, facing escalating costs now estimated at $5 to $7.5 billion, raising concerns over funding, transparency, and the true necessity of proposed components like the 3-mile MAX light rail extension and associated infrastructure.
For the IBR, the main driver for tolling are the excessive costs of the proposal. The top money waster is pushing to extend the Oregon MAX gold plated light rail for the transit option instead of buses like are used today. Roughly 25% of the $ BILLIONS projected in early underestimates of cost are due to the lightrail boondoggle.
haha… boondoggle is such a polite use of language for a ill-conceived idea that deserves four letter words. C’mon people… this reeks of nothing more than
