The Hood River-White Salmon Bridge needs replacing.
A new, safe bridge will support the Columbia River Gorge’s economy and resiliency.
The existing bridge as it stands today.
The Hood River Bridge is a critical connection for our bistate Gorge communities. For commerce, it is a vital link between the agricultural heartland and the ocean ports in the Pacific Northwest. For locals, it is an essential link for daily access to jobs, childcare, school and medical services.
The bridge is near the end of its serviceable life and wasn’t built to safely accommodate our long-term needs. Read more about the existing bridge on the Current Bridge & History page.
