Historic Highway Section Reopens

The section of the Historic Columbia River Highway between Multnomah Falls and Angel’s Rest reopened Thursday morning, two days after a slide closed the road.  Oregon Department of Transportation geologists and hydrologists hiked up the hillside above the slide Thursday morning to inspect conditions before deciding to re-open the road.  ODOT does advise travelers to use caution in the Gorge, which is prone to slides under the best conditions.  ODOT will close that section of road again on Monday morning to complete slide cleanup.  This will include clearing a culvert blocked by slide material.
