Roseburg, Ore. — (KGW) A landslide buckled Oregon Highway 42, also known as the Coos Bay-Roseburg Highway.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said the roadway would be closed for at least a week.
The slide happened on Thursday afternoon on a section that has been involved in an effort to straighten out some severe curves along the Middle Fork of the Coquille River.
Heavy rain this month saturated the ground, defeating efforts at erosion control.
ODOT shared a video of the slide from the air.
