A long-discussed refurbishment of a bridge over the Klickitat River appears to be set to proceed this summer. Work on the small one-lane bridge north of the town of Klickitat that goes over to Horseshoe Bend up Swale Canyon has been discussed for about a decade. but permitting took years to complete due to various issues. Klickitat County Commissioner David Sauter says the plan is to do the work this summer, and the bridge will be closed for 80 working days. Sauter notes with the limited access that will result from the bridge closure, the County is coordinating with local fire districts and the Washington Department of Natural Resources for continued fire and EMS coverage.
