ODOT Update on Highway 126 Partial Opening

ByTom Atkinson

As more dangerous trees are cleared and landslides removed the McKenzie Highway 126 is gradually opening up. We are now into a Partial Open stage. It is not fully open yet but if you wait at one of two roadblocks, currently between milepost 27 in the West and milepost 38 in the East you can get a pilot car to escort you to the properties between those two roadblocks at the times below. The National Guard and Police should be checking IDs before granting access but we have heard spotty reports of this happening.

This schedule runs Monday, Sept. 28th through Friday, October 2nd.

Morning:

  • 8am west to east
  • 9am east to west

Evening:

  • 4pm west to east
  • 5pm east to west
  • 6pm west to east
