Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Pacific Coast Route Section 2: Map 26, N. of Brookings - Feb 2019

« on: February 28, 2019, 01:03:31 pm »

On map 26, US 101 north of Brookings between Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint and Harris Beach State Park is closed due to a landslide and collapsed roadway. The ground continues to be unstable and is closed to ALL traffic. It is uncertain what the timeline may be for repairs.

Photos of the damage and more information may be seen in these two articles:

https://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/2019/02/dramatic-landslide-still-blocking-us-101-north-of-brookings.html


In the meantime, Carpenterville Highway/SR 255 is the only nearby route option.

To learn the current conditions of the slide and see a map of the detour, go to Oregon's Trip Check website & zoom in on US 101 north of Brookings:  https://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/Road-Conditions

Oregon DOT notes this about the route:

Carpenterville Highway is a detour but it is a steep, winding road with steep grades and an elevation change of 1,700 feet. Motor Carrier Enforcement officers are on either side of the highway to enforce length limits.

This website has a few pictures taken along Highway 255: http://www.corcohighways.org/highways/or/blog/?p=625

Wikipedia has a short article on Highway 255: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Route_255

We are in touch with Oregon DOT and will post more information on the situation when we have it.
