Oregon and Washington continue the joint effort in restarting -- yet again -- discussions focused on replacing the aging Interstate Bride over the Columbia River, the Interstate 5 crossing that links the two Pacific Northwest states.

A pair of Federal Transit Administration grants will help expand transit in the Pacific Northwest.

Portland-area voters may get an official look at a likely $7 billion transportation package come November in the form of bond requests, but Metro Council hopes to have the package of projects sorted out this spring.

The Interstate 5 Bridge project between Oregon and Washington is officially back. At least for now, that is.

Two years of work to repair and upgrade Portland's Burnside Bridge has reached the final few weeks of projects, complete with a new traffic layout and construction that included upgrades to the bridge's surface, structure, mechanical and electrical functions.

A Metro and TriMet-led discussion about future solutions for mass transit throughout Portland led to the concept of a tunnel under the Willamette River in downtown Portland.

With trains scheduled to roll along 12 new miles of light rail track in Portland by 2027, planning on the TriMet expansion continues to move forward, both on the proposed route and 13 stations between Portland State University in Southwest Portland and Bridgeport Village in Washington County.

Efforts to replace the 100-year-old Interstate Bridge connecting Oregon to Washington over the Columbia River, however far they’ve advanced in the past, have all fallen short. Now, though, a small bit of life comes back to the bridge replacement discussion.
