As reported by Anthony Macuk of KGW:
“The Interstate Bridge Replacement Program (IBR) has secured its first big tranche of federal funding, marking a major milestone for the effort to replace the aging twin bridges that carry Interstate 5 over the Columbia River.”
$600million of $6billion. I think that’s ten percent.
Pressing Pause 
The states of Washington and Oregon have the WA republican state senate (at the time) to thank for not kicking in $450 million to fund the approved project back in 2013-2014. Now it’ll cost the states and all bridge users (tolls) 2-3 times as much if it gets going in the next year or two.
Wait, I don’t want to pay no stinkin’ tolls?!
Tough—it’ll cost you! Just another ‘con legacy. Suck it up and be a man.
