ODOT: Valley, No. Coast – 12/23/22 @ 3:33pm
The Astoria-Megler Bridge on U.S. 101 has reopened now that de-icing is done and abandoned vehicles have been removed. However, road conditions remain hazardous due to ice, crashes and fallen vegetation on many highways in Northwest Oregon from the coast to the Cascades.
As of Friday afternoon:
* U.S. 30 is closed about 5 miles east of Astoria at Mile Point 94 due to fallen power lanes – with no estimate when it can reopen.
* OR 202 remains closed due to weather and road conditions at Mile Point 14 southwest of Astoria.
* And I-84 is closed indefinitely in the Columbia River Gorge due to ice and high winds.
Weather and highway conditions can change quickly, and continue to avoid travel today if you can.
