Highway 101 Closure Alert
I wanted to post this concerning Highway 101, 12 miles North of Brookings, Oregon. Highway 101 Closure There isn't a good local bypass in that area according to ODOT, at least not for large RVs....
Forum Discussion
The most resent info is that they are hoping to open the Hwy in 1 or 2 days, one way only. ODOT has portable signals and sensors to stop traffic going one way and then after a period of time usually about a minute switch and let the other way go.
This section of Hwy 101 and the section south of Beverly Beach has been a problems as long as we can remember at least since '60. I don't understand why ODOT doesn't simply reroute HWY 101 around those two spots. They take 101 inland at Humbug Mountain and then back out further South. I guess it is like the last big slide on Hwy 1 S/O Big Sur.
