Motorists traveling on OR 36 from milepost 12 near Deadwood should expect temporary full closures and continued delays as part of ongoing efforts to address damage caused by January’s winter storms

Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, during the week of April 1-12, crews can close OR 36 for 20 minutes or more at a time to bring in large equipment to help remove the larger trees on the hillside.

Crews will do their best to keep the closures to 20 minutes, but at times we could see closures up to 1-hour.

The closures will happen from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

These closures and delays are vital to enable the safe maneuvering of heavy equipment, large logs and debris.

While these closures are expected to cause daytime delays, our priority remains ensuring the safety of both motorists and our crews.

If you plan to travel this route next week, plan ahead and give yourself extra time.
