Transportation & Infrastructure First For Lot 1

Posted on by mbailey

The Port of Hood River is planning on dealing with transportation needs and infrastructure for the vacant 11-acre Lot 1 on the eastern portion of the Waterfront before deciding on what that land will actually be used for.  A roundabout at 2nd and Riverside adjacent to Lot 1 is being considered as a way to deal with the kind of expected traffic that Port Commissioner Ben Sheppard notes is supposed to arrive by the end of the decade. Sheppard notes they already have some grant money for engineering, but the Port will be going out for more grants to do construction.

$6 Million For Bridge of the Gods In Oregon Omnibus Bill

Posted on by mbailey

The Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks did receive $6 million in funding in the Oregon Legislature’s end-of-session omnibus bill location to support engineering studies focused on seismic resilience and bridge preservation to safeguard the nearly 100-year-old bridge.  With this funding, the Port of Cascade Locks will be able to procure engineering and other services such as site and soil assessments to analyze the bridge’s structural integrity to identify seismic vulnerabilities and inform targeted preservation efforts. Additionally, the studies will explore the feasibility of adding a pedestrian, bike, and equestrian lane separate from the flow of vehicle traffic to enhance safety for users, particularly those traversing the iconic Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.  The Port plans to seek matching funds in next year’s legislative session in Washington.  After narrowly missing out on funding during the 2023 session, the Port worked closely with leadership from the Joint Transportation Committee to present another funding request during the 2024 short session.

Bridge Replacement Project Gets $8 Million In Congressional Appropriations

Posted on by mbailey

The Hood River-White Salmon Bridge Replacement Project will receive an additional $8 million in federal funding after Congress approved two separate requests late last week.  This latest round of funding comes after the project was awarded a $200-million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The project now has $327 million in committed funds, about 63% of the estimated total project cost of $520 million.  The $8 million approved by Congress last week came from two $4 million appropriation requests submitted last spring—one from Washington and one from Oregon.  Klickitat County sponsored the Washington request, and that $4 million will support preliminary engineering and design of the new bridge, including seismic resiliency and accommodations for cyclists and pedestrians.  The Oregon request was sponsored by the Port of Hood River.  That funding will be set aside to acquire any land required to complete the project, and to fulfill commitments to local tribes as identified in the federal approval process.
