VANCOUVER – The Columbia River Crossing (CRC) project is hosting an open house on Sept. 9 for construction and construction-related firms to learn about and provide input on the project’s future contract and bid process.
CRC is seeking input on procurement and contracting methods, schedule specifications and bi-state contracts. The event will include a project overview presentation, a question and answer session and opportunities to have one-on-one conversations with staff and other attendees.
Input received at the open house will help enhance the contracting process. Project construction is expected to begin in 2013 and last five to seven years.

About the project
CRC is a long-term, comprehensive project to reduce congestion, enhance mobility and improve safety on I-5 between SR 500 in Vancouver and Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The project will replace the I-5 bridge, extend light rail to Vancouver, Wash., improve closely-spaced interchanges and enhance the pedestrian and bicycle path between the two cities. The project would be funded by federal and state sources, as well as tolls. Written comments may be submitted on the CRC project at any time at feedback@columbiarivercrossing.org. More information is available on the CRC project website: columbiarivercrossing.org.
