Title: Upper Larch Mountain Road closes November 30 Post by: www.corbettoregon.com on November 29, 2020, 04:23:48 AM Upper Larch Mountain Road closes November 30
Multnomah County Transportation will close the upper section of Larch Mountain Road in the Columbia Gorge on Monday, November 30 for the winter season. The closure will be in place by noon. Every autumn the county closes upper Larch Mountain Road by installing a snow gate near milepost 10. The closure protects the traveling public from adverse weather conditions and reduces maintenance costs associated with snow removal. The gate is opened each spring. Larch Mountain Road is the highest road in Multnomah County, reaching an altitude of 4055 feet. The snow gate is at an elevation of approximately 2300 feet. Multnomah County maintains Larch Mountain Road and 274 miles of roads. For more information, visit https://multco.us/roads/larch-mountain-road. |
