For the third installment of our new video podcast, “Behind the Stories,” we hear from Clark County Today reporter John Ley. Over the course of the past several months, Ley has spent many a day covering transportation issues that affect drivers, commuters and virtually everyone in southwest Washington. We talk about the unexpected changes and realizations that have arisen out of the chaos of 2020, and delve into what’s next. Ley shares his perspective on how projects like the I-5 Bridge Replacement and a possible third crossing will impact the people working across the river and living in Clark County. Get an insider’s look into what it takes to cover big transportation topics during pandemic life in Clark County, no matter the challenges.
