SISTERS, Ore. — Crews reopened Highway 20 near the Santiam Pass on Wednesday evening after an avalanche shut down the road in both directions.
The Oregon Department of Transportation closed the highway Wednesday morning near the junction with Highway 22, about 7 miles west of the Santiam Pass summit.
Crews worked all day to clear the road.
The closure came two days after another avalanche closed the highway on Monday.
ODOT said drivers should expect winter conditions in the area.
