STORM IMPACTS CONTINUE, TRAVEL REMAINS CHALLENGING ACROSS OREGON

Storm impacts continue to affect roads across Oregon, with travel expected to remain challenging heading into the weekend.

A release from the Oregon Department of Transportation said flooding, downed trees, debris, landslides and mountain snow are all contributing to difficult and sometimes unpredictable conditions with more rain and snow in the forecast.

ODOT said crews are working 24/7 statewide, clearing fallen trees and debris, unclogging drains and culverts, responding to flooding, and plowing and sanding mountain passes. Resources are currently focused on storm response and keeping critical routes open and safe where conditions allow.

Travelers should expect closures, detours and delays to continue, particularly in flood prone areas, along rivers and over mountain passes. Conditions may change quickly as water levels rise and recede, and additional road closures are possible where flooding or debris blockage becomes severe.

ODOT urges residents to do their part to avoid becoming stuck or stranded. Make sure vehicles are prepared for winter and storm travel, carry required traction devices, and use them when required. Allow extra travel time and delay non-essential trips if possible.
