Port of HR Gets Report On Traffic & Revenue For A New Bridge

Port of Hood River Commissioners received a sketch of traffic and revenue expectations for a new Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge at their Tuesday night meeting.  It’s all part of putting together part of the environmental impact statement for a new bridge, and gathering information to be used for whatever kind of financing package would be needed for construction.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says one of the major takeaways was a recommendation to develop a tolling policy, adding that because the Port in all likelihood would not be the primary agency to run a new bridge, they will need input from a number of different parties.  McElwee says part of the EIS is to determine the impact of tolling increases on lower income communities.
