This inter-county bridge will be located on the Columbia River Highway
across the John Day River, below McDonald, and will obviate the
necessity for the toll ferry at McDonald.
As designed, the crossing calls for 2-123 foot wooden deck spans on
concrete piers and about 120 feet of high class wooden approach and 100
feet of fill. The cost, which is estimated to be $20,000.00, will be
borne by Sherman and Gilliam Counties, and the State, and it is probable
that construction work will start next spring.
