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

Latest update : about 3/4 of the wreckage on the I-5 Bridge has been taken out of the river. 71,000 vehicles were crossing that bridge everyday. The I-5 bridge over the Skagit River is about 40 miles from the Canadian Border and there is currently a 1 to 2 hour delay getting through the detour back onto I-5. Washington State DOT has found the bridge spans it needs to repair the bridge in Washougal, Washington State and in New Jersey. 2 of the 10 truck loads of the temporary bridge parts have arrived at Mount Vernon, Washington State. Washington State DOT is in hopes of reopening the the long range bridge replacement by june 15th, but the NTSB ongoing investigation could delay that opening date. Kitsap Sun page A-4, 5-30-13
