Mud slide closes forest road

A mud slide has closed Road 2207 in the Detroit Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest. The district said Friday the road, known as Little North Fork Road, will likely remain closed for months.

The slide is approximately three miles north of the French Creek Road intersection, and nearly 300 feet of the road is covered with mud and debris.

The Forest Service will wait for the area to stabilize and for suitable weather before deciding how repairs should be made.
