Landslide closes OR 36 West of Triangle Lake

A large landslide closed OR 36 at milepost 25, two miles west of Triangle Lake, just before noon on Sunday. The slide occurred just west of the existing rock screen.

It is estimated that there are 100 to 300 cubic yards of rocks, dirt, and 100 foot trees on the roadway. Expect cleanup to take several days.

Travelers are advised to avoid the area and take alternate routes. There are no local detours. Message boards have been posted at Mapleton, in Veneta, and at the intersection of OR 36 and Territorial Road.
