Here's a map of the I-5 bridge crossing:

Note that Clark College is on the Northeast corner of Fort Vancouver Way and McLoughlin, not the southwest shown on this map.
Further south, the bridge on Vancouver Ave. over the Columbia Slough is closed to everything except bicycle traffic right now due to structural issues. (A fire under the bridge damaged it.) It's easy enough to bike around the barriers.
The city of Vancouver map of the I-5 crossing:

goes into more detail. Detail's helpful- that particular highway/street/bike route complex was designed by an earthworm on acid.
