TROUTDALE – The Historic Columbia River Highway/U.S. 30 will be closed during weekdays for up to three weeks starting Monday, Feb. 23, between Larch Mountain Road and Vista House for removal of hazardous trees and loose rock.
Work will be done during daylight hours with closures from about 7 a.m. to about 5 p.m. weekdays. The highway will be open nights and weekends.
Rainstorms in December triggered landslides in this section of the historic highway, but temporary repairs allowed the highway to reopen. Removal of hazardous trees will take about a week, and rock scaling will take about two weeks after that.
During the closures, the Portland Women’s Forum will remain accessible from the west side, and Vista House will be accessible from the east. The highway will be open nights and weekends.
