Learning
On June 4, the Program hosted a hybrid event to update the consulting and construction industry on upcoming contracting opportunities and procurement plans for the Program's first funded phase of construction, drawing approximately 350 participants.
The new information focused on what firms can expect for the procurement process and how the Program will deliver the first funded phase within the approximately $5.7 billion of available funding.
The replacement bridge, I-5 connections, Hayden Island and SR 14 connections and removal of the existing bridge will together form the Columbia River Bridge Replacement (CRBR) project. The Program also shared details on the construction delivery method for the first contract, Progressive Design-Build, a collaborative, phased approach that brings designers and contractors together early to manage risk.
The Program anticipates releasing a request for qualifications for CRBR this summer, followed by a request for proposals later this year. A Progressive Design-Build contractor is expected to be selected and onboarded in 2027, with construction beginning in 2028.

Reporting
Updated through December 2025*
Contracting and expenditure data is updated two times a year. The data takes longer to receive and compile and may not be available until after the reported timeframe. The Program will continue to share accountability reports and develop additional reporting metrics. The most recent updated finance reports provide information about the economic impact analysis, finance planning and risk assessment efforts completed for components included in the Modified Locally Preferred Alternative which were approved for further analysis in July 2022. Cost estimates and financial plans will continue to be updated as the Program is refined.
Current reports are listed below. For more information, visit our library.

DBE Program Status and Data Currency Important Program Status Notice**
As of October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) affecting the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concessions DBE (ACDBE) programs under 49 C.F.R. Parts 23 and 26. Under this IFR, DBE contract goals, counting of DBE participation toward project and overall program goals, and related compliance activities are temporarily suspended pending reevaluation of all currently certified firms under the new individualized certification criteria. During this interim period, recipients of USDOT financial assistance may not set new DBE goals nor count DBE participation toward federal contract goals until the reevaluation process is complete.
The data presented in this dashboard reflect utilization and diversity information through September 18, 2025, and do not include DBE goal attainment or counting of DBE participation following the USDOT IFR effective October 3, 2025. This dashboard is provided for informational purposes and does not imply active goal achievement under the DBE program during the interim IFR period.
For more information about the IFR and its implementation, including USDOT’s official rule text and guidance, please visit the U.S. Department of Transportation’s IFR page:
