Hood River-White Salmon Bridge Replacement

Project Overview

JLA is leading public involvement and communications for this complex and high-stakes project to maintain inter-jurisdictional collaboration, pursue funding, and design a replacement bridge over the Columbia River between White Salmon, WA and Hood River, OR.

Communication and Public Involvement

JLA is closely involved with the project management team, supporting the formation of a new public bridge authority and the Bi-State Working Group, leading community engagement strategy and implementation, and developing public communications for this quickly developing project.

We work closely with City of White Salmon representatives and communities on both sides of the bridge for this process.
