Salem, Ore. – A portion of Bear Ridge Road (BLM Road 3-7-32.1) is impassable due to a landslide caused by winter storms. The slide occurred at milepost 1.5, just off the Nestucca Access Road.

"We are actively monitoring and evaluating a remedy to remove the slide and restore visitor access," said Karen Schank, Tillamook Field Office Manager. "We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through removing the slide and stabilizing the area for public safety," continued Schank.
