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.

    Yes, Highway 101 is closed just south of Wheeler. The roadway has broken up.

    The worst part of these two closures, is I can't find anywhere on the ODOT web site with real updates on progress.

    Even a simple statement on the Tripcheck site with an ETR.
  • It is 12 miles from the Coast.

    Yes, Highway 101 is closed just south of Wheeler. The roadway has broken up.

  • This is close to the coast.

    Tripcheck also shows a closure on US101 further north at Wheeler. Isn't that as significant, or more so?
  • Is this between Salem and Sisters or Salem and the coast?

  • Actually Highway 22 has been getting some attention. Last year ODOT repaved several miles of it which really helped. Since I live in the Hebo area I travel 22 all the time, both for work and pleasure.

    I think all the coast roads could use a bit more attention and $$$. The big issues is the $$$ I believe.
  • Would be easier just to stay on 18 and come out at Lincoln City.

  • Yes it was. Hay truck nosed into it. Driver was okay. I don't know how deep it is but ODOT says it will be some time before it is repaired.

  • Is that the one the truck fell into last Monday? Heard about it from a friend.
