Oregon Department of Transportation Dec. 12, 2025 LINCOLN COUNTY – A large landslide has closed OR 229 between milepost 14 and 15, between Kernville and Siletz. Because the slide has taken out a portion of the road, this will be a long-term closure. The closure follows several days of heavy rain and high water in the area. ODOT crews have been responding to weather-related impacts along OR 229 in recent days, including emergency repairs to a sunken grade area near milepost 9 on Wednesday.   At this time, it is not known whether the closure will last days, weeks, months, or longer. ODOT geotechnical crews will need time to assess the slope and determine next steps before a timeline can be established.   There is no detour available. Travelers should avoid the area and plan alternate routes.   ODOT crews will continue to monitor conditions and will share updates as more information becomes available. Travelers are encouraged to check TripCheck.com for the latest road condit...
