Highway 229 Extended Closure

(Siletz, OR)  --  Highway 229 near Siletz will remain closed for years due to a massive landslide that happened during an atmospheric river event in December.  The Oregon Department of Transportation says the ground remains saturated and the slide continues to move.  ODOT engineers and geotechnical experts are studying the slide, but it's unsafe to even walk on it.  When a plan is developed it will require funding similar to building a new road.  ODOT is working on a long-term detour plan.  There's currently no way around the slide.
