The discussion of a second bridge between Ontario and Fruitland is going beyond the local area, as Ontario officials seek to build support at regional and state levels.
At the request of Ontario City Manager Adam Brown, the matter was brought up during a joint meeting of the Southeast Area Commission on Transportation and the Northeast Area Commission on Transportation, representing the eastern most counties in Oregon, including Malheur County.
It was agreed that it will take several years to get the project off the ground. However, it was decided by commission members participating in the meeting by virtual conference to begin laying the groundwork.

An infrastructure idea that was floated at a work session of the Ontario City Council on April 8 is now being backed by a plea from the council to lawmakers for help in funding the project. That plea is in the form of a letter to Gov. Kate Brown, and several Oregon, Idaho and U.S. representatives and senators.
That letter was brought up during the second regular meeting of the City Council on April 27, continuing the idea of a second bridge connecting Ontario and Fruitland, by means of extending Ontarioâs Southeast 18th Avenue to an Interstate 84 overpass into Fruitland.
