U.S. 101 is closed in both directions four miles south of Cannon Beach due to a landslide. ODOT reports they have no idea when the highway can be re-opened – it’s that bad.

The transportation department is sending a geologist to the site to assess the situation.

Transportation officials suggest detouring around the closure if possible by using OR 53, which connects Wheeler on U.S. 101 and U.S. 26.
