The Port of Hood River Commission will get a recommendation Tuesday from a committee on the engineering firm to select as the project manager for replacement of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge. Port Executive Director Michael McElwee likens this to hiring a “Department of Bridge Replacement,” to oversee all facets of the project. McElwee says the intention is for the selected firm to stay on the project until the existing bridge is removed. An evaluation committee has been going through candidates. The Port Commission meets at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Port Marina Center Conference Room.
