"There is a small section of pavement south of the old weigh station."

"...it wasn’t rediscovered and cataloged until ODOT released its Historic Columbia River Highway study in 1987. It was also at this point that the segment was given the 'weigh station' moniker, as it was 'located above the truck weigh station on the south side of I-84 between Government Cove and Wyeth.'3"

Jonathan Ledbetter, "'Weigh Station' and Lang State Park HCRH Segments"

...since ODOT found no improvement or utilization opportunities, they forgot it existed again when they created their 1996 HCRH Master Plan:

The Herman Creek Road over Wyeth Bench has recently been paved and should be used as the hiking and biking connection between Cascade Locks and Wyeth, since no substantial sections of the original HCRH remain.6

They rediscovered it just in time for the 2006 revised plan, but reaffirmed that connecting it to anything would be impossible due to the terrain and lack of available ROW.

BEAVER STATE BLOG: “Weigh Station” and Lang State Park HCRH Segments

January 12, 2020 - The last entry in my November 2019 HCRH trip covers two short segments that aren’t part of the HCRH State Trail: the so-called “weigh station” segment and a tiny portion in Wyeth that until recently dead-ended at some rocks at undeveloped Lang State Park. These might be small, but each piece has its own history that deserves noting.
