A slide on FS Road 5800, locally known as the Boundary Road, near the 27 mile marker has closed it until further notice forest officials announced. The Boundary Road is closed at the intersection with Fairview Road (FS Road 1055) going south and Big Creek Road (County Road 5084) heading north.
It will remain in effect until the road can be repaired for safe passage.
The slide is located about 300 yards south of the junction of the Boundary road with Fairview Road. Both Fairview Road (FS Road 1055) and Big Creek Road are open at this time.
Travelers intending to head north on the Boundary road from either Big Creek Road or the North Fork of the Siuslaw River Road will need to detour to Highway 101 north to Fairview Road where they can access the Boundary Road heading north again.
