Penn Road was closed indefinitely. Drivers were urged to take Highway 126 or Vaughn Road as alternate routes An official alternate route is a bannered highway that provides an alternate alignment for a highway. Originally, the term for these routes was "optional"; but in 1959, the designation became alternate. . Heavy rain caused the sinkhole, which was about 10 feet wide and 6 or 7 feet deep Monday morning, said Mike Bassett, Lane County Public Works road maintenance supervisor. Logs used in the original road construction rotted away over the years and recent heavy rains caused the land to slide into a creek that runs under the single-lane gravel logging road, Bassett said. Public works officials are checking with the state Department of Fish & Wildlife, which regulates construction near creeks and streams, Bassett said. That department will determine when and how the road can be repaired. Until then, access is blocked about 4 1/2 miles up Penn Road, Bassett said. No homeowners or businesses are stranded by the closure, he said. |
