OR 58 eastbound is the latest highway to be partially closed on December 19 due to extreme overnight weather. Record rainfall has caused high water levels and ground movement.
OR 58 is restricted to one lane 16 miles east of McCredie Springs at mile marker 61 due to a snow-related crash. The Oregon Department of Transportation said to expect delays of up to 20 minutes, consider using alternate routes if possible, slow down and watch for emergency personnel working in the area.
