The section of U.S. 30 from the City of Mosier to the west end of The Dalles is part of the Historic Columbia River Highway and is designated as a Scenic Byway and All American Road. Although not a high-volume travel route, the highway has great historical significance and provides access to agricultural lands, tourist attractions, such as the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, and an increasing volume of cyclists.

US 30 Mosier Creek and Dry Canyon Creek bridges
The Mosier Creek and Dry Canyon Creek Bridges were built in the early 1920s with the construction of the Historic Columbia River Highway. According to bridge inspection reports from 2012, these bridges are experiencing significant flaking, delaminating and honeycomb cracking. Areas under the deck overhangs have exposed and corroded steel reinforcement. Along with the concrete repairs, the bearings and some joints may need to be rehabilitated or replaced. Adding to these issues is the fact that some deck joints and storm drains leak directly onto portions of the structures below, such as the arches, accelerating the deterioration of the concrete.
