Expect delays for tree removal, U.S. 20 east of Newport

NEWPORT – Expect delays on U.S. 20 Corvallis-Newport Highway around milepost 3, Tuesday, Feb. 14 and Wednesday, Feb. 15 and Thursday, Feb. 16, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The schedule has been revised because of weather expected on Tuesday. 

We are removing unstable hazard trees from the slide area. We will remove about 20 trees at the top of the slide to prevent them from falling on the road and power transmission lines.

Flaggers will stop traffic when trees are being taken down. Delays are usually 20 minutes or less, but could be longer if material falls on the road.

Unstable trees at the top of the slide area will be removed.
