U.S. Highway 101 will be closed at the Umpqua River Bridge (milepost 211) in Reedsport for six hours starting at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 4, due to repair work. There is no local detour during the nighttime closure. Several of the bridge’s crossbeams were damaged in a hit-and-run crash in June. The closure will allow workers to repair the damage. Emergency service vehicles will be given priority through the work zone.
