Hwy. 101 Travelers, North Coast, June 7

ODOT release – Travelers on the North Oregon Coast are reminded that starting Sunday evening there will be a full two-week night time closure of the New Youngs Bay Bridge. The night time closure is scheduled from Sunday, June 6 to Friday, June 18, from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. each week night (Sunday night through Friday morning).
The closure is part of the repair project that began in March 2019, and is necessary to complete work on the bridge’s lift span towers. The New Youngs Bay Bridge on U.S. 101 connects Astoria to Warrenton. During the night time closure, travelers will use U.S. 101 Business over the Lewis and Clark River and Old Youngs Bay Bridges as the alternate route. Travelers should add some extra travel time and expect delays. The work is weather dependent which may impact the schedule.
