Clark County's morning commute smooth on first work day of I-5 bridge project - The Columbian

The morning commute went smoothly southbound through Vancouver on the first work day of the Interstate 5 Bridge trunnion replacement project, though a crash on Interstate 84 in Portland caused a miles-long traffic jam.

In a role reversal for the commute, northbound traffic on I-5 — which is reduced to one lane mornings during the bridge work —backed up south of the Interstate 5 Bridge near Hayden Island. Trucks and larger vehicles seemed to be taking the commute slowly with north and southbound traffic passing on one span.

Southbound Interstate 5 is reduced to two lanes passing over the southbound span of the Interstate 5 Bridge as part of a project to replace parts on the century-old northbound span. Freeway cameras and speed sensors show the way is clear, with little to no slowing in Clark County.

Traffic data from the Washington State Department of Transportation also shows no delays on southbound Interstate 205 over the Columbia River and into Portland.

The trouble this morning was in Portland due to a crash on westbound Interstate 84 near 28th Avenue. Traffic quickly backed up to I-205, trapping drivers who may have taken that route to avoid crossing the Interstate 5 Bridge.
