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

Hmm...here's a question: why not see if the Corps of Engineers can put a temporary floating bridge (as used my the military to cross a river) up to replace the collapsed span until it can be rebuilt?
A floating bridge wouldn't work in this case as the roadbed is about 25 feet above the river, and only 1 of I believe 3 spans came down. It has been announced though that there is a plan for a temporary span to be installed and have the bridge reopened by mid-June.
