Project-Details







U.S. 30 Bridal Veil Bridge

Design Phase

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Multnomah)


​​​​​We are preparing to repair a bridge on the Historic Columbia River Highway between Shepperd’s Dell State Park and Bridal Veil Falls that needs repairs to continue carrying traffic over the creek.


Columbia River Gorge Construction: I-84 and U.S. 30 Historic Columbia River Highway

Impacts

Construction Impacts

During construction, one lane of the bridge is anticipated to remain open to traffic while work is underway. Travelers crossing the bridge should anticipate flaggers and delays up to 20 minutes while work is underway.

Construction will occur simultaneously with the Multnomah Falls west viaduct project, which will close the Historic Highway west of Multnomah Falls from fall 2024 to spring 2025. Learn more by visiting the Multnomah Falls project webpage. 

Additional project-specific impacts about the Bridal Veil Bridge will be shared before construction begins.

Schedule

Construction begins in early 2025 and is anticipated to be complete by summer 2025.

Details

About

The bridge will be repaired by replacing the concrete railings and patching exposed rebar on the bottom of the bridge. Once the structural work is complete, a tinted coating will be applied to railings and columns to help blend the appearance of new and old concrete. The bridge railings will then be left alone to allow moss to return naturally, providing the natural Gorge aesthetic people know and love.

Crews plan to use scaffolding and netting beneath the bridge to contain debris from reaching the stream below. This process will allow the bridge to remain open during construction.

Location

U.S. 30 |

​Historic Columbia River Highway between Corbett and Bridal Veil.

Cost and Funding

​Project cost: $1.1 million

Benefits

The bridge must be repaired to continue moving people through the National Scenic Area on the Historic Columbia River Highway, especially during the busier summer season. The repair will maintain the bridge’s historic appearance​.

Additional Information

Over the next several years, we have many construction projects planned on I-84 between I-205 and Hood River, and on the Historic Columbia River Highway between Troutdale and Hood River.
