TILLAMOOK COUNTY, Oregon (KPTV) — A portion of U.S. Highway 101 is closed north of Rockaway Beach because of a landslide.

According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, it happened south of Wheeler at mile marker 47.

Traffic is being detoured over Miami-Foley Road, but longer trucks will need to use alternate routes.

The scenic coastal highway is expected to be closed at least through Tuesday night, ODOT said.
