An Oregon Department of Transportation crew will be removing hazard
trees along U.S. 101 near Cannon Beach from Monday, March 9 through
Wednesday, March 11, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. ODOT will be conducting
traffic control through the work zone and the public is encouraged to
drive with caution and to expect minor delays.
The project
includes the removal of a number of alder trees that have been
identified by the ODOT arborist as hazardous to motorists and to the
safe operation of the roadway. The activity is scheduled to take place
along U.S. 101 from Ecola Creek Bridge at milepost 28.70 to Sunset Blvd
at milepost 29.48.
The tree
thinning effort is part of a multi-year commitment to improve safety
along this section of highway while addressing the guidelines of the
Cannon Beach Forest Corridor vegetation management plan.
The month
following the removal of the hazard trees, ODOT will begin replanting
with species of trees identified within the vegetation management plan
and are better suited for conditions along the highway.
