Scenic road closed for much of summer
Monday, May 11, 2009 | No comments posted.
EUGENE (AP) - The window for driving the Old McKenzie Highway will be smaller than usual this year.
The road linking McKenzie Bridge and Sisters is generally closed until late spring or early summer because of snow. This year, motorists won't be able to travel the length of the scenic road until late summer because of work on a $3.8 million project to repair McKenzie Pass Highway.
The west side of the road, also known as Highway 242, will be closed until August.
The east side, between Sisters and Dee Wright Observatory, will open once plows finish clearing the road later this month. That section, however, will close for construction between early July and August.
