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.)
