A section of U.S. Highway 101 remained closed as of Tuesday, Jan. 10, about 12 miles south of Port Orford after a landslide caused a collapse in the highway.
The landslide caused a roughly 200-yard segment of highway to drop as much as 12 feet in some spots. The Oregon Department of Transportation were working to keep the stretch of Highway 101 just south of Port Orford open when it started moving more significantly early Monday morning.
“Our crews were able to maintain a lane under gravel… but overnight the roadway had significant failure which resulted in a highway closure around 3:00 a.m. Monday morning,” reported Glen Pederson, ODOT interim District 7 manager. “We understand the great impact this has on our local communities and want to ensure you we are working as quickly as we can to evaluate this site and set ourselves up to get the road open as soon as we can safely, even if under a single lane and gravel for a time,” Pederson reported.
“The strategy will be similar to what we implemented for the Hooskanaden Slide back in 2019,” he said.
With the current forecast, ODOT employees are hopeful to have a single lane under gravel open for emergency services within the next week, if it is safe to do so. The next step would be to continue to progress toward opening the road to the rest of traffic soon after, according to Pederson.
“The slide area continues to move so the schedule is still fluid. In the meantime we have hired Tidewater Contractors to begin mobilizing to the site and bring materials needed to begin work as soon as possible,” he said. The Oregon Department of Transportation has messages along I-5, 101, 42 and 199 to communicate the closure and restrictions to drivers. Motor Carrier has also put an emergency restriction in place to help in this effort. “We are hoping this will help reduce trucks and other travelers from continuing on to a closed section of road and minimizing impacts to travel,” Pederson said.
ODOT will continue to update the community as more information comes in.
