HOOD RIVER, ORE. – In response to the lowered load rating imposed by ODOT in March of 2021, the Port of Hood River will conduct extensive live load testing on the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge from October 9 through October 24. Testing activities will take place on the bridge seven days a week during this period.

Bridge users should expect intermittent single-lane closures between the hours of 7:00AM and 5:00PM every day throughout the testing period, with delays of approximately 30 minutes possible depending on traffic volume. Flaggers will direct traffic around the moving work zone.
