Lunch & Learn: Interstate Bridge Replacement Program Environmental Impact Statement Presentation

📅 Wed, Oct 30, 2024
The Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) program is a bi-state effort between Oregon and Washington to replace the aging Interstate Bridge with a safer, earthquake resilient multimodal corridor. It will reconstruct seven interchanges in Portland and Vancouver, create thousands of jobs, improve mobility along the interstate, and provide a new light rail link between Portland Vancouver.
The program published its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) on September 20, 2024, kicking off a 60-day public comment process under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) that will run through November 18, 2024.
Program Administrator Greg Johnson will be joining NAMC-Oregon on October 30 from 12:00pm-1:00pm for a virtual presentation to talk about the IBR program, highlight the key findings of the Draft SEIS, and outline how to participate in the public comment process.
