As of late morning, road crews were working to reopen sections of three Cascade highways, namely Oregon 138-E, 230, and 62. While all of 230 remains closed, 62 is closed from Prospect North to where it intersects with 230.
The closure points for 138-E is currently from Toketee at milepost 61, to where it intersects with U-S 97.
Three snow blowers with the Oregon Department of Transportation are making room for drivers on some of the hardest hit areas, which saw up to four feet of snow yesterday (MONDAY).
More snow is forecast today, although not as much. Additionally, crews are also cutting foliage leaning over the roads, and removing fallen trees and branches.
ODOT says depending on weather, all or some parts of the affected highways may open later today. Travelers are advised to take their time, carry chains and an emergency road kit with water and food, and to dress warm.
Highway 20 remains closed today east of Sweet Home to the 126 junction because of hazardous conditions.
