There was mud slide last year (March 2014). News articles talk of 40 dump truck loads. I'm the sure the priority was to clear the slide and let traffic through. Damaged pavement would have been patched, but major pavement repair would require separate planning (and funding).
I've known highway departments to let active slide areas revert to gravel. It's cheaper to install warning signs and regrade it periodically than to patch broken pavement.
I'd be interested in seeing news articles or ODOT project descriptions of previous slide repairs on this highway.
