A landslide has closed the Old Columbia River Gorge Highway between Wahkeena Falls and Angel Rest (Bridal Veil to Multnomah Falls) as of late Tuesday morning.
The Oregon Department of transportation said the closure will be in place for an extended period so geologists can assess the situation and determine what mitigation efforts can be used. The highway will then need to be cleared of debris.
