Emergency speed limits have been placed on Highway 97 at the Little Klickitat River Bridge north of Goldendale after a crack was discovered in the roadway. Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will install a temporary steel plate over the southbound lane of the bridge to cover the crack. That will reduce the speed limit in both directions at the bridge to 35 miles per hour. The speed limit will remain at 35 until a more comprehensive fix is implemented.
