I-5 Bridge Replacement Project Advances To Environmental Review Phase
The Columbian reports, the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program has advanced to its next stage of development. At a meeting yesterday, program administrator Greg Johnson told members of a bistate legislative oversight committee that the components of the Modified Locally Preferred Alternative are ready to undergo an environmental review process that is expected to last 18 months. Concurrently, staff will work on a conceptual finance plan, apply for grants and Oregon legislative funding, and address conditions imposed by transportation planning agencies.
The Columbian also reports that the I-5 project is progressing because the recommended preferred alternative received the final regional endorsements it needed. However, each of the program’s partner entities has imposed conditions of approval that program staff must now address.
The Oregonian also covers this story.

“Engineering News Record” reports, “After a nearly four-decade drought, not one but two major air-rights projects are taking shape over the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston. A successful air-rights project has not been built over the turnpike since Copley Place opened in downtown Boston in 1983. Now, life sciences developer IQHQ and local development partner John Rosenthal are pushing ahead with plans for one of the largest life sciences campuses ever built in the city. . . . Meanwhile, about one-half mile east in the Back Bay area, developer Samuels & Associates recently marked the completion of its own air-rights deck over the highway. . . .” Samuels plans to develop an office, hotel and retail complex on the deck. ENR looks at the complexity of “building over one of the busiest stretches of highway in New England.”
