Klickitat County officials are pushing for both the Oregon and Washington legislatures to pass what is needed to create a bi-state bridge authority to oversee a new Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge. County Commissioner Jacob Anderson says the hope is the Washington Senate Transportation Committee will pass it this week. Anderson said once they can get the bi-state bridge authority legislation done, they will move into asking for more financial help for bridge design. He notes having 14th District Senator Curtis King as the ranking Republican on the Senate Transportation Committee is a big help in their efforts.
