The Port of Hood River Commission has approved a seven day suspension of all tolls on the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge beginning at 12:01 a.m. this Friday until March 27 while Port staff works to implement safety measures to enable continued operations at the toll booth. The Port stopped accepting cash payments in the toll booth Tuesday as a temporary emergency measure to stop person-to-person contact at the toll booth and potentially reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission in the community and to staff. Port officials say they will consult with environmental health specialists to assess the cash-pay toll area and implement measures to mitigate risks. BreezeBy customer accounts will not be charged for tolls during this period. All vehicle traffic will be directed through the BreezeBy lanes at the toll plaza located on the Oregon side of the bridge.
