Clackamas County closed Eldorado Road indefinitely at its southern intersection with OR 213 on Thursday due to cracks in the roadway that began growing last weekend.

Eldorado Road, east of OR 213 and a bit north of Mulino is near a large slide that is also impacting OR 213 in unincorporated Clackamas County. The Oregon Department of Transportation is doing road work in the area and the county will continue to assess the status of Eldorado Road. A detour route advises area residents to use Union Hall Road as an option.
