Bayocean Road closure begins August 5

The culvert conveying Dick Creek on Bayocean Road blew out in December 2015 and a temporary bridge was installed at that time. A permanent bridge has been designed, permitted and a contractor has been selected for the work.

Bayocean Road at milepost 2.4 (between the Memaloose Boat Launch & Bayocean Dike Road) will be closed for bridge construction on August 5th and opened on September 5th. No accommodations will be made for pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Road closure timing is based on environmental limitations and can’t be accelerated. The contractor will make every effort to open the road in advance of the Labor Day weekend.

Detour Route: Take OR 131 to Oceanside, turn right onto Cape Meares Loop Road and follow signs over the new alignment of Cape Meares Loop Road to Tillamook. Cape Meares Loop Road intersects with Bayocean Road at Cape Meares Lake. Take a left to the community of Cape Meares or a right to access Bayocean Dike Road. Detour signs will be installed to direct the travelling public.
