The access road to the Spit recreational site in Hood River’s waterfront area is closed to vehicle traffic until further notice.  Port of Hood River officials say it is a temporary closure for an undetermined period of time.  The exceptionally wet winter has caused significant damage to the road, which provides the only vehicular access to the parking area for the Spit.  The road will be closed to all but construction vehicles until it can be repaired.  Pedestrian access is still allowed.  Users of the Spit recreational area can park at the Marina Beach parking area and walk across the Hood River Pedestrian Bridge.
