In Gresham, Southeast Lusted Road is closed between Altman and Hosner roads due to a sinkhole. The hole is roughly 12 feet deep and six feet wide. The cause of the sinkhole is currently not known. Through traffic should use Southeast Dodge Park Boulevard or Oxbow Drive.
Strong, gusty winds continue to make travel difficult for high profile vehicles in and near the Gorge through Friday. Forecasters expect winds gusting to near 50 mph in east Portland and through the Gorge. Those towing trailers, driving tall RVs and other high profile vehicles should use caution.
