The Hood River – White Salmon Interstate Bridge (Hood River Bridge) is a road bridge over the Columbia River between Hood River , Oregon , and White Salmon , Washington , in the United States.
It joins Interstate 84 / US Route 30 on the Oregon side and State Route 14 on the Washington side.
The developer was the Oregon-Washington Bridge Company . The structure was opened to traffic on December 9, 1924. The Port of Hood River has been the operator since 1950 .
The bridge runs across the Columbia River at power mile 169.8. The construction has 20 columns. In the middle there is a lifting bridge with a clear width of 75 m to allow tall ships to pass (the clear height is then 45 m instead of the normal 17.3 m). In 1938 a renovation took place because the water level had risen due to the Bonneville Dam .
The bridge has two lanes that are only 2.86 m (9 ′ 4.75 ″) wide. Vehicles may have a maximum weight of 36.2 t (80,000 lbs ) and a height of 4.44 m (14 ′ 7 ″).
The traffic volume is around 4 million vehicles annually. The toll is collected electronically by BreezeBy, but cash payment is possible.
Neighboring bridges on the Columbia are The Dalles Bridge (river mile 169) upstream and the Bridge of the Gods (river mile 191) downstream .
