A one lane section of Old Highway 99S in the Dillard area closed for over three hours on Thursday, due to a glue-like substance in the road.
Roseburg Forest Products Communications Manager Kenny Larson said at about 11:00 a.m. a truck delivering an interior-grade adhesive used in the production of plywood for products such as furniture and cabinets, developed a leak. This took place near the Dillard RFP manufacturing complex. Larson said company crews responded and notified state highway officials, who helped close the affected lane of Old Highway 99S while RFP staff cleaned up the roadway.
Larson said the spilled product is biodegradable, water soluble, and did not pose a health risk to people. The roadway was reopened at 2:30 p.m. according to Larson.
