Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Yesterday, a tree fell and took down some main power lines between Scenic Way and SR9, causing the road to be closed. The power company, PGE, has been called to remove the tree but hasn’t given a specific time they’ll get there. The road has a temporary closure in place, and it’s expected to be cleared in about 8-10 hours.
