Stay away from Western Washington if you're headed to BC

It's on all the news channels, but just to reinforce: if you are headed to B.C., DO NOT plan on doing so via I-5 in Western Washington. As of 7pm last night, all lanes of I-5 are lying at the bottom ...

This talks of 2 bridges (presumably 1 or 2 lanes each) one on each side of the original. Northern BC people probably have driven over their share of Bailey bridges like this.

Though this is what I first thought of when I first read about using Bailey bridges. But I don't know if this is meant to be a short term fix or longer
