PORTLAND, Ore. — A highway blocked by a landslide had been cleared of a soupy mixture of gravel, mud and trees Wednesday and one lane could be reopened to traffic as early as today, authorities said.
Nobody was injured by Tuesday’s slide, which destroyed two houses, struck others and covered an area estimated to be three football fields long.
State highway crews worked all night to clear U.S. 30, which runs along the Columbia River, linking Portland and the Pacific Coast.
One lane could be reopened by this morning, said a spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Transportation.
