Columbia River Crossing
Columbia River Crossing. The I-5 Interstate Bridge across the Columbia River is actually two bridges side-by-side, built in 1917 and 1958.

Together, the two crossings connect the greater Portland-Vancouver region, carrying over 260,000 trips back and forth across the Columbia River every day.
