Interstate Bridge Replacement as a Tunnel: Totally Doable

This is an alternative to the Columbia River Crossing / Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Project based on an immersed tube tunnel (ITT). The IBR proponents have been against using an ITT, and I will address their concerns at the end. The principal advantages of a tunnel are that it frees up land, leaves nothing in the water that impedes river traffic, and leaves nothing in the air that impedes air traffic. (For those not familiar, one reason that the IBR is a hot mess is that it needs to be high enough to allow for barge traffic but low enough to not intrude into approach routes to the airport. It is still high enough off the ground at either side of the river to demand huge disruptive interchanges on the waterfront.)

Newberg Wastewater Plant Expansion Estimated at $32 Million, Slated for 2029 Completion

NEWBERG, Ore. — Most residents of any municipality interact with wastewater by pressing the toilet handle and hearing it flushed down the pipes and out of our minds. But behind the scenes, hundreds of pipes in Newberg are carrying that waste beneath our feet to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. There, it undergoes a nearly three-month purification process that ends with the clean water deposited into the Willamette River and the solids sold back to the public in the form of Grade A compost.
