Design work is continuing for reconstruction of the Cascade Avenue/Rand Road intersection at the west end of Hood River to lead to a signal light at that busy location. The Oregon Department of Transportation and the City of Hood River are working together on the project. City Manager Rachael Fuller says realigning the intersection is a key component, noting the project was originally planned for some time ago, so changes have had to be made. She pointed out there are significant right-of-way issues to work through. ODOT has the design phase scheduled to continue through spring of 2021. Construction is planned for next fall, with completion in spring 2022.
