Port of HR Installs New Cameras At Bridge Toll Booth

The Port of Hood River has installed new cameras around the toll booth at the Interstate Bridge.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says they replaced cameras installed nearly a decade ago, and he notes the technology is vastly different, with higher resolution, able to move and swivel, and for the most part read license plates.  McElwee added there will be at least two new cameras installed that can keep a good view on the lift span and the north end of the bridge.  He said that is a result of lessons learned during last September’s alleged allision in which some kind of vessel is believed to have hit one of the bridge piers.
