Development of the Environmental Impact Statement for replacement of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge continues.  Port of Hood River executive director Michael McElwee says progress is being made, estimating they are about 45% complete, noting a lot of the work is being done by specialists and experts.  He says they are heading into the next phase which will culminate in a community meeting in the fall where they can provide an update on how far they are from completing the EIS and if there are any foreseeable hurdles.  McElwee said it is likely the four treaty tribes interested in the project will ask for funding for specific analysis relating to each tribe, and the Port of Hood River Commission has budgeted some funds for that.
