Highway 97 Bridge Work Put On Hold

With cold winter weather in the forecast, including ice and snow, work to construct the new Highway 97 located between Indian Service Road and Wilson Charley Road, in Klickitat County, is on hold until next year.  On Wednesday, the Washington State Department of Transportation’s contractor, Cascade Bridge, will pause work to replace the existing two-lane concrete slab bridge with a new concrete structure that will meet current bridge safety and functionality standards.  The work will resume next spring when warm, dry weather returns.  This $7.5 million dollar project is now scheduled for completion in fall 2022.
