Oxbow, Oregon — Hells Canyon Road between Oxbow and the Hells Canyon Dam (north of Hells Canyon park) is currently closed due to a rockslide.

The closure will enable crews to safely clear the rockslide and perform any necessary repairs. We believe the closure will be necessary for a couple days and will let the public know when it is reopened.

Located 21 miles downstream of Oxbow Dam, Hells Canyon Dam is the third and last project in the Hells Canyon Complex.
