Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail Plan Update--Preliminary Environmental Constraints Analysis
|
| Milepost 2016 Reconnection Projects (2009) |
|
Since the 1987 Oregon Legislature identified a strong desire to maintain, enhance and restore the Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH), ODOT has been charged with working with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the State Historic Preservation Office and Travel Oregon to preserve, enhance and reconnect the Historic Columbia River Highway. Much work has been accomplished since that date and 62 of the original 73 miles of the HCRH are now open to travel either by motor vehicle (Historic Highway or connecting county roads) or by foot and bicycle (State Trail).
The Historic Columbia River Highway Advisory Committee and the Friends of the Historic Columbia River Highway have joined together to advocate for the completion of the State Trail by 2016, the 100th anniversary of this masterpiece. The “Milepost 2016 Reconnection Projects” identifies specific improvements that will be required to allow total reconnection of the Historic Highway, creating a continuous picturesque trail through the Gorge. Please click on the following links in order to view the “Milepost 2016 Reconnection Projects” document that will show each project in greater detail.
