Traffic change ahead on Wilson River Highway

Drivers will soon notice a helpful traffic change at the Devils Lake Fork Bridge on Oregon 6 at milepost 32 in eastern Tillamook County.
Beginning the week of Jan. 17, ODOT’s contractor will reopen the bridge to two-way traffic at night and on weekends. Drivers will still need to watch out for flaggers and alternating one-way traffic on weekdays through February.
Keeping traffic moving during construction is important to ODOT. Because this bridge is subject to snowy and icy winter conditions, ODOT is giving it priority to plow, sand, and deice the highway when needed. Construction crews are well equipped in this isolated area to connect with Emergency Services if necessary.
“We are also coordinating this project with other coastal corridor highway work to ensure that travelers will always have access to and from the coast,” said ODOT spokesman Lou Torres.
