Oregon lawmakers are considering reviving the once-dead Columbia River Crossing in a special session later this month. They’re looking to barrel ahead on a $2.7 billion Oregon-led plan that relies heavily on tolls, cutting interchanges in Washington out after that state’s lawmakers bailed on a plan this summer to kick in $450 million. In addition, $107.8 million already spent by Oregon and Washington count toward the financing plan. An additional $86.4 million pledged to three companies to make up for the proposed bridge’s shorter 116-foot clearance has yet to be funded.
