Travelers planning to navigate the Oregon coast will need to adjust their routes as Highway 131 has been closed for emergency repair work. The closure, which affects the stretch between Oceanside and Netarts, comes after severe erosion has compromised the integrity of the road. The emergency repairs were initiated last Friday morning, with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) signaling that the road will be inaccessible until at least the first week of January 2025.
