For more background on the project, go to the Columbia River Crossing page. If you have questions, contact the Coalition for a Livable Future.

I'm looking forward to this event, because although I have done my best to follow the subject, there is always something new to learn. And it will be great to hear what folks in Portland are thinking about the bridge project.
