Oregon Hwy 22 heading to the coast
Just wanted to let any know that Oregon highway 22 is closed from Grand Ronde west to the Coast (US 101). You must use either Hwy 6 or Hwy 18.

In the Seattle area, major railroad tracks run along the shore below slide prone bluffs. Standard operating procedure is to stop all passenger traffic (commuter, Amtrak) for a couple of days after a slide, even if it does not take that long to clear it.
Safety of cleanup crews and passengers is more important than keeping traffic flowing. Often geotechs need to assess the slide, to judge whether it is continuing (or repeating). If conditions are favorable for one slide, they are favorable for more - even at the same spot.
