Bridge Time
The Hood River/White Salmon Interstate Bridge opened on December 9, 1924, when Calvin Coolidge was President. Within a year, 79,545 cars, 67 stage coaches and 3,920 livestock had crossed the river. In 1939 the lift span was installed due to construction of Bonneville Dam. World War II began that year in Europe. (photo courtesy of Blaine Franger)
