ODOT Receives Federal Grant To Finish Historic Highway

The Federal Highway Administration announced the Oregon Department of Transportation is receiving an $11 million grant for completion of the 37-year effort to restore and reconnect the Historic Columbia River Highway.  The funding will repurpose the final trail segment remaining by constructing a separated and protected bicycle- and pedestrian-only hard-surface trail between Mitchell Point and the Ruthton Trailhead west of Hood River.  The money comes from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to modernize roads and improve safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.  This Oregon project is one of five nationwide receiving a total of $88.2 million in Fiscal Year 2023.
