Heads up for six nights of closures on the St. Johns Bridge beginning next week (Feb. 5). Inspections will close the bridge to vehicle traffic 8 p.m.-5 a.m. each night through Feb. 11. Pedestrians and bicyclists can still use the bridge during the closure.

Reminder: An uptick in landslide repairs on OR 213 due to new slide activity has OR 213 down to one lane (total) near South Eldorado Road north of Mulino. Travelers should expect delays up to 20 minutes on OR 213 and possibly longer delays during commute times. ODOT will continue to flag traffic through the areas for the foreseeable future.

Drilling work continues on repairs to the roadway that were already in progress before pavement began to crack earlier in January. ODOT notes that the road remains safe and that crews are monitoring conditions daily.

Speeds on this stretch of OR 213 have also been reduced to 45 mph (from 55 mph). Use caution in the area.

South Eldorado Road is also closed at its southern intersection with OR 213. A detour route advises area residents to use Union Hall Road as an option.
