Bridge lift

I have lived in Vancouver for 39 years and I have never been the front car stopped for a bridge lift until today.  The I-5 bridge connects Washington State with Oregon State.  The I-5 Bridge is over a 105 years old.  There has been talk of replacing it but the two states have not come to an agreement.  In 1982 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.  More than 143,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day.   (Electric streetcars operated across the bridge from opening day in 1917 until 1940. The bridge became part of Interstate 5 in 1957. Along with the new interstate system came a second parallel bridge, which opened to traffic in 1958 and required a toll for vehicles crossing the bridge.)
