UNION CREEK – High winds pushed crews out of the High Cascades closure area Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 16. Due to the hazard to public and crew safety, the Oregon 62 closure is back to Prospect from Union Creek. These winds have halted progress for the day due to hazard trees. Crews will re-evaluate in the morning. But with another foot of snow in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, clean-up work will be evaluated day by day. Current High Cascade closures: Highway 138 closed from Toketee to U.S. 97; Oregon 62/230 closed at Prospect.
