Hersman does not expect the investigation to delay removal of debris from the river or work on a temporary solution to replace or repair the I-5 span. While, the National Transportation and Safety Board finishes its inspection, state workers will begin removing debris from the river. Next, a temporary solution will be put in place to return traffic to Washington state's most important north-south roadway. A trucker was hauling a load of drilling equipment Thursday evening when his load bumped against the steel framework over the bridge. The federal government has promised $1 million in emergency dollars and more money could come later, according to Washington's congressional delegation.
