Advice for bypassing Skagit River Bridge?
I'm heading down I-5 next week but will need to bypass the Skagit River Bridge area. Any advice on which route to take? What is Hwy 9 like for a nervous RV'er? Nui

You have to excuse me but I just get a chuckle out of the Californians and the Canadian giving advice on how to detour the I-5 Bridge collapse. The detour depends a lot on where your final destination is located. After living in the area for nigh on fifty years I will tell you there IS no easy answer and there won't be for months. If it were me I would pay the money and take the Canadian ferry to Vancouver Island and then take the ferry to Port Angeles. Either that or cross at Osoyoos. Highway 9 is very narrow and curvy at best and has DEEP ten foot ditches on either side of the two lane road. Sorry folks but there is just no easy answer to this problem. At least Patty Murry is the ranking member on the Senate Highways and Transportion committee so maybe she can get some federal dollars thrown at the problem.
