The on-again, off-again effort to replace the aging Interstate 5 bridge spanning the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington has taken another step toward on-again. The bi-state program office of the Oregon Dept. of Transportation and Washington State Dept. of Transportation has hired Greg Johnson as the program administrator.
Johnson, most recently a senior vice president at WSP and its national director for construction management and services in Michigan, will start July 6 and represent both states to build a new Columbia River Crossing—an effort that dates back more than a decade.
