BROOKINGS, Ore. —

UPDATE: Curry County has issued an update on road closures due to flooding and slides.

• Winchuck River Road: Due to the continued debris flow on Winchuck River Road, at approximately mile marker 4.5, the road will remain closed overnight. Road crews need the ground flow to subside in order to safely clear the debris.
• Gardner Ridge Road: The washout on Gardner Ridge Road, near Hazel Camp Road, is situated in a steep canyon in the Chetco Bar Fire burn scar. The debris flow that was caused by this weekends rain storms resulted in the eastbound lane of travel falling down the canyon. A permanent solution is being looked at, but for now the road will be restricted to one lane of travel. The County Road Department will be moving the open lane as close as possible to the uphill bank on the westbound lane of travel as well as stabilizing the eastbound side of the road.

"Please continue to use caution when driving. New landslides are still possible as this storm system continues to move to our east," Curry County Emergency Services said.

UPDATE: According to Curry County Emergency Services, there are multiple road closures in effect due to flooding or slides.

• Gardner Ridge at Hazel camp is closed to all traffic except for those that live past closure zone.
• Winchuck River road is closed at approximately 4.5 miles due to active slide.
• Hunter Creek road is currently experiencing flooding and will increase due to high tide at 3 p.m.

Waters on the Chetco River have risen well above the banks in many areas, and saturated ground pounded with continuous rainfall greatly increases the likelihood of slides.
