Planned replacement of the wire ropes that operate the liftspan of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge has been delayed due to supply chain issues. Port of Hood River Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says project contractor Hamilton Construction could not get the materials pulled together in time to get the work done as planned, which would have included a full weekend closure of the bridge. Greenwood says they will now look to have the work take place in late October. Greenwood did say the work will be scheduled in a way that will not impact fruit harvest.
