 Crews remove debris after a landslide blocked the highway last week.
The Historic Columbia River Highway has reopened between Larch Mountain Road and Vista House after a March 11 landslide closed the route just east of Larch Mountain Road.
Crews monitored the active slide area as conditions improved, then inspected the hillside and cleared debris to safely reopen the highway.
Repairs to the concrete stone wall and additional work below the roadway will take place in the coming months. Travelers should expect flaggers and intermittent traffic control in the area when that work begins. ODOT will share updates as work is scheduled.
Travelers can once again access Vista House and the Portland Women’s Forum from both directions. Drivers should continue to use caution in the area and watch for any remaining debris.
