Last week, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joined us to tour the deteriorating bridge, where he called our project “one of the largest, most complex and most important transportation projects in the entire country.” I’m grateful to Sec. Buttigieg for recognizing the importance of the I-5 bridge as a linchpin in both the regional and national economy.

The I-5 bridge plays a vital role in transporting freight both between states and internationally, with billions of dollars’ worth of goods traveling by truck via the I-5 corridor. This funding award will be a major step toward strengthening the safety and efficiency of this vital interstate artery – but I’m not done fighting for more funding and more projects like this.
