ODOT TRAFFIC ADVISORY:

Watch for Labor Day traffic delays near Reedsport and Winchester Bay

Sept. 1, 2022

REEDSPORT – Visitors to the southern Oregon coast should expect traffic congestion and delays heading north on U.S. 101 through Reedsport on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5.

In recent years, northbound traffic has backed up from Reedsport to Winchester Bay during peak traffic hours on the final day of summer holiday weekends, when many travelers are heading home. ODOT expects the heaviest traffic to occur on Monday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

ODOT advises holiday travelers to avoid peak travel hours or use alternate highway routes. Watch for electronic message boards on U.S. 101 near Reedsport and Winchester Bay.
