Extreme weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rain, led to numerous highway closures and lane reductions across the Oregon Coast and Willamette Valley.
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued flood warnings for several highways, with downed trees, mudslides and flooding creating dangerous travel conditions and power outages in some areas.
Current road closures and restrictions:
OR 58 eastbound is restricted to one lane 16 miles east of McCredie Springs at mile marker 61 due to an accident. Snow on the highway worsens the impact on traffic. Expect delays. Consider using an alternate route if possible. Slow down and watch for emergency responders working in the area.
