Washington County will close part of Old Highway 47 between Etters Road and Maple Lane in the Seghers community starting Aug. 8 until approximately Sept. 5, officials say. Travelers headed to Hagg Lake and other local attractions are advised to follow a posted detour sign.
"We’ve had a cluster of calls this evening throughout our response area and our crews have noticed that ice has began to form on roadways and walking areas," Forest Grove Fire & Rescue said Sunday evening.
Fern Hill Road has reopened, Washington County Land Use and Transportation said Tuesday.
Closed since Friday after floodwaters overtook the roadway and a driver and their car became trapped in floodwaters, needing rescue, it was the second such closure this rainy season.
For the first time this season, the gates at Fern Hill Road are up, blocking access to a popular route for Forest Grove commuters trying to get to the east side of the county.
