At milepost 35, a sunken section of Oregon 6 necessitates a westbound lane closure, so drivers can anticipate delays in both directions.
The submerged road was found around 15 miles west of Banks, and the Oregon Department of Transportation blocked the single westbound lane early Wednesday.
Right now, flaggers are only allowing one lane of traffic to pass through the area. According to ODOT spokesperson David House, the disruption was probably caused by the Coast Range’s intense rainfall.
While workers and a geologist determine how to stabilize and fix the road surface, the lane restriction might continue past Thursday. Until further notice, expect delays.
To avoid potential lengthy waits through the area, travelers headed to the coast could wish to take U.S. 26 westbound instead.
