Annual Bridge Deck Welding
Single-Lane Closures | May 4–8 & May 11–15, 2026
Hood River, Ore. (April 24, 2026) – Single-lane closures on the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge will take place as crews perform annual deck welding repairs to maintain the bridge’s safety and structural integrity. Work will occur from Monday, May 4, through Friday, May 8, and again from Monday, May 11, through Friday, May 15, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day.

Flaggers will be present to direct traffic, and drivers should expect delays during these hours. While every effort is made to reduce the impact on travelers, some disruptions are unavoidable. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time for your commute.
Due to the narrow lanes on the bridge, drivers are strongly urged to proceed slowly and cautiously to ensure the safety of workers. Additionally, motorists should avoid looking directly at the welding arc light when passing through the work zone.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this necessary maintenance.
