    PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – Three days after a semi-truck crash closed it , the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge reopened, the Oregon Department of Transportation said.

    The crash involving a semi-truck caused “severe damage” to the Hood River Bridge. The Port of Hood River closed the bridge to give engineers time to inspect it.
