HIghway 14 Construction and Closures

Another travel update from http://www.travelthegorge.com/

Extensive highway construction is scheduled for the spring and summer of 2010 on Wahington's Highway 14 between the Bridge of the Gods on the west end and the Hood River Bridge on the east end.  There will be on-going highway closures and travel lane restrictions continuing intoSeptember, as crews clear potential rockfalls from cliffs above the highway.

While there will be a lot of work done near Dog Mountain, the Dog Mountain trailhead parking lot and trail will be open unless blasting is scheduled.  The highway itself will be closed from 4-6 p.m. weekdays through June 14, then more frequently through Sept. 2.  Delays of no more than two hours are expected and can be avoided by crossing to I-84 on the Hood River Bridge or the Bridge of the Gods.

Frustrating but necessary.  Visit WSDOT for traffic alerts and updates.
