Tillamook County Races Against Time to Rebuild After Devastating Floods

Tillamook County in Oregon is urgently constructing a new bridge within 10 to 15 days after a washout on Miami Foley Road left Highway 101 as the only direct route between Garibaldi and Mohler. The existing stretch of Highway 101 is frequently closed due to landslides and coastal flooding, causing significant commute delays. The county has declared a disaster and requested a State of Emergency to expedite the contracting process for the bridge, which will be made of steel piles and concrete. The bridge is crucial as it provides the only north-to-south route on the Oregon coast, and the county aims to have it completed and the road reopened by December 21.

Tillamook County Faces Devastating Flood Damage and Urgent Infrastructure Repairs

Tillamook County in Oregon experienced its highest flood levels in over six years, causing at least $2.5 million in damages to local roads. The heavy rainfall resulted in coastal highways being swamped, county roads being washed out, and drivers being trapped in floodwater. The flooding was not as severe as previous flood seasons, but significant infrastructure damage occurred. With one road currently impassable, Highway 101 is the only direct route between Tillamook and the rest of the North Coast. The county is working to install a permanent bridge to ensure connectivity along the damaged road.
