The major funding comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s (DOT) Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highway Projects (INFRA) program, which received a significant boost from the <em>Ley de Infraestructura Bipartidista.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hood River-White Salmon Bridge replacement project is focused on replacing the aging interstate bridge\u2014a critical artery across the Columbia River\u2014with a modern, seismic-resilient, and accessible bridge by 2029.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cA top priority for the Mid-Columbia has reached a major milestone! This huge federal investment means the Hood River-White Salmon Bridge is closer than ever to being replaced to meet the diverse needs of the region, including keeping locals, visitors, and goods flowing safely throughout the Gorge,\u201d <strong>dijo Merkley<\/strong>. \u201cI have long championed this critical project and advocated to the highest levels of the Biden administration to ensure a federal commitment to a seismic-resilient bridge that will withstand any test\u2014from facilitating evacuations during wildfire crises, to fueling the movement of agricultural products, to connecting people to world-class recreation opportunities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the many solid infrastructure investments I fought for in the&nbsp;<em>Ley de Infraestructura Bipartidista<\/em>, which are drastically needed in Oregon and across the nation,\u201d <strong>dijo Wyden.<\/strong> \u201cNot only will this new project help increase access and strengthen the local economies in Hood River and White Salmon, but also build resiliency against damage caused by future natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe Hood River-White Salmon bridge is a critical lifeline for&nbsp;communities&nbsp;on both sides of the river, but for too long it has been outdated, insufficient and not usable for anyone who wants to cross the river by foot or by bike,\u201d <strong>said Rep. Blumenauer. <\/strong>\u201cThis&nbsp;is a&nbsp;well-deserved award, thanks to President Biden\u2019s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. I look forward to one day biking from Hood River to White Salmon on a beautiful, safe, modernized bridge that befits the Columbia Gorge community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge crosses the Columbia River and connects the cities of Hood River, Oregon and White Salmon, Washington. More than 4 million vehicles cross the bridge every year, connecting Interstate 84 on the Oregon side and State Route 14 on the Washington side. For locals, the bridge is essential to access jobs, childcare, school, and medical services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current bridge was built in 1924 and is functionally obsolete and nearing the end of its usable life. If not replaced, the 100-year-old bridge would have to be closed to truck traffic in six years and closed to all traffic by 2040. Among other shortcomings, the current bridge has two narrow lanes and no permissible passage for pedestrian or bike traffic. A new bridge will provide a number of improvements, including bike and pedestrian access, wider and safer vehicle lanes, and improved passage for river traffic on the Columbia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe Port of Hood River is so thankful for the efforts of the Oregon Delegation, and the entire Pacific Northwest delegation, to prioritize this project for this region of the gorge,\u201d <strong>Port Commission President Kristi Chapman stated<\/strong>. \u201cThe Port has committed to bridge replacement as their number one priority, and it is great to see what can happen when everyone is working together for a common goal.
