The Portland Airport’s 2.12 inches of rain on Sunday gives a clue to the reason why so many area roads are under water, and landslides are blocking lanes.
Oregon Highway 224 is CLOSED in both directions east of Carver for a slide. The highway is closed between Tong Road and 232nd Drive with eastbound traffic detouring around the closure using Tong Road. There is no detour route for commercial vehicles and no estimated time for reopening.
A small overnight slide on Macadam Avenue has closed a lane southbound near the Sellwood Bridge.
The right lane of the U.S. 26 eastbound is closed near the Oregon Zoo due to a slide from last night. Expect that to cause some long delays for the Monday morning commute.
DOWNTOWN 6:57 a.m.; Injury crash at Southwest Fourth Avenue and Jefferson Street.
***
Oregon Highway 99E has the right lane closed north of Canby for a slide near South End Road.
In the rural Gresham area, Southeast Pipeline Road is closed between Altman Road and 302nd Avenue for high water. Use alternate routes such as Oxbow Drive and remember that nearby Southeast Lusted Road remains closed between Altman and Hosner roads because of a sinkhole from last week.
The Historic Columbia River Highway is closed between Bridal Veil Falls and Ainsworth due to water on the road. No ETA for reopening.
And finally, as of 6:30 a.m. Monday, 23 partial restrictions/closures were recorded on Washington County roads due to high water from last night. The roads typically drain quickly, but it’s best to check the county’s website at the link above before you head out.
