Members confirmed for Interstate 5 Bridge replacement group Published: January 20, 2021, 5:54pm Share: The Interstate 5 Bridge. (The Columbian files) The Interstate Bridge Replacement Project’s executive steering group held its third meeting Wednesday and voted to confirm a proposed membership lineup for the community advisory group, the second of three advisory groups that the bi-state project office intends to rely on for feedback as it develops a potential replacement for the Interstate 5 Bridge. “We are shifting from first gear into second gear and going into a very public phase of the IBR program,” said Program Administrator Greg Johnson. The community group includes eight at-large members — four from Oregon and four from Washington — and 23 appointed members who will represent various regional organizations and stakeholder groups. The office received almost 500 applications for the at-large positions, according to project team Communications Manager Lisa Keohokalole Schauer.
