Local news is reporting an accident on the bridge where there may have been some damage to the bridge itself. Its def closed for the day, not sure how long after that.

Just putting it out there since we are coming up on a big travel week, and for the community to have info to plan.

I was headed over to HR around 2pm. Port guys standing at the barricades said 2 hours or three days, we don’t know.

They said an excavator crossing the bridge hit uprights and engineers were getting involved in assessing the damage.

I didn’t want to go over there anyway….

Port is adjourning a special meeting on Sunday morning at 10 AM. I'm not certain if the public is invited to comment or participate but it can be viewed via live stream here: https://portofhoodriver.com/live-stream

I didn't make the meeting in time, but my neighbor said they are planning to open the bridge to cars and motorcycles only, temporarily for the holiday. Can someone who attended confirm the outcome?

Thanks 😊
