Road Work Closes Part of Hwy 101 on Oregon Coast Between Florence, Yachats Published 02/15/21 at 7:06 PM PDT By Oregon Coast Beach Connection staff (Yachats, Oregon) – Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced this week that a section U.S. 101 between Florence and Yachats will be closed for up to a week as crews build a retaining wall. The closure takes place at milepost 170.5, a little over two miles south of Cape Perpetua (about a half mile south of Bob’s Creek Wayside.) ODOT said since the closure is between Sea Lion Caves and Cook’s Cavern, there are a few areas with enough space where larger vehicles can turn around.
