FIRST PHASE OF BRIDGE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED EARLY; OVERNIGHT STEEL WORK BEGINS SEPT. 29

HOOD RIVER, Ore. (Sept. 23, 2026) — The mechanical and electrical maintenance scheduled for Sept. 21–24 on the Hood River–White Salmon Bridge has been completed ahead of schedule. As a result, the remaining daytime traffic impacts scheduled for Sept. 23 and the overnight closure scheduled for Sept. 24 are no longer needed.
The Port of Hood River thanks Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) and the Port Facilities crew for their hard work in completing this phase early.
The next phase of work, involving bridge steel and coating maintenance repairs, will begin next week.
