Local officials pushing for a new Hood River Interstate Bridge will be making a push during the 2022 legislative sessions in Oregon and Washington to get funding from the federal Infrastrucure Investment Act to complete engineering for the project.  Port of Hood River project manager Kevin Greenwood says they are seeking $20 million from the Oregon Legislature.  But one hurdle to overcome is the fact the bridge is locally owned rather than operated by the Oregon Department of Transportation.  Greenwood says they are making the case for the unique ownership of the existing bridge.  Greenwood says progress is being made on putting together a bi-state bridge authority to oversee a new bridge, and legislation is being introduced to create it.
