Rockslide closes Highway 30 near Biggs Junction, Rufus

Large boulders, some as big as cars, fell off a cliff near Biggs Junction and onto Highway 30 on Tuesday, January 30.

Luckily, nobody was injured in the rockslide though the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) says that there will be a prolonged cleanup and that a "lengthy closure" should be expected.

At approximately 9:15 AM, ODOT shared a photo of the massive rockslide, which covered all of Highway 30 on both sides of the road.

The owner of Amayah's Indian Food restaurant, which is located near Highway 30 by the old bridge, said that the staff were startled by the rocks falling onto the road, saying that the ground shook and that it was very loud.
