Traffic Alert:  We are doing repairs the week of May 15 on this rock slide on OR 58.
We are doing repairs the week of May 15 on this rock slide, which occurred April 22 on OR 58 just west of the Willamette Pass. Expect delays at this rock scaling work zone this week and at other work zones on OR 58 this year.

May 15, 2023

If you are traveling on OR 58 between Interstate 5 and U.S. 97 this week, please plan extra time into your trip. Three work zones will be active on the highway.

In addition to this year’s culvert repair and replacement project and utility relocation work zones, we are doing an emergency repair on a rock slide April 22 just west of the Willamette Pass.

Rock scaling crews will remove overhanging and loose debris around milepost 53 from 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. starting today. We expect the rock scaling to take four to five days.

We will flag traffic through the rock-scaling area, so expect up to 15- to 20-minute delays in those areas. At some times during the work, we also may need to briefly close all lanes to keep travelers safe from rock falls.

Expect 15- to 20-minute delays in all work zones where we are flagging traffic.

When approaching work zones, remember to slow down and drive cautiously for your safety and for the safety of highway workers.

OR 58 is an important link between the southern Willamette Valley and central Oregon. This corridor is vital to freight and travelers, and is a critical route in disasters and disaster relief efforts. Find out more about OR 58 corridor projects.
