The Link Public Transit

05/29/2026

🚍 Heads up, Columbia Gorge Express riders! Due to the McCord Creek Bridge replacement project on I-84, we are experiencing significant delays on Fridays and weekends, with occasional impacts on weekdays. Construction is expected to continue through the fall.

If you are traveling to the airport, making timed transit connections, or catching the final Link bus to The Dalles, please plan ahead:

⏱️ Expect delays and give yourself plenty of extra travel time.
🚌 Take an earlier bus whenever possible to avoid missed connections.
🚗 Have a backup plan for transportation just in case.
