Hooskanadan Slide, Hwy. 101, Feb. 27

ODOT release – The slide on U.S. 101 MP 344 – called the Hooskanadan Slide — has moved about 10 feet both horizontally and vertically Tuesday, Feb. 26. The goal, once it slows down, is to gravel a portion of the highway and get it open under 24/7 flagger control. Nearby Carpenterville Highway (OR 255) is open to traffic, but it should NOT be considered for use as a viable detour for commercial truck traffic. Expect a check point on either side of Carpenterville Highway Wednesday morning to turn away oversized commercial vehicles.
