Clackamas County deputies requested sanding trucks at the scene of a 6 a.m. crash on Southeast 242nd Avenue and Tillstrom. Icy spots were also reported on Hogan Road in Gresham and other outer eastside locations. Watch for slick driving conditions until the temperatures warm later Tuesday morning.

More than 200 cubic yards of debris dumped onto Southwest Skyline Boulevard due to a landslide that occurred overnight Sunday. The road will remain closed for several days as crews need to clear debris and large trees from the area. The slide is near Fairhaven Drive and through traffic is not allowed between West Burnside and U.S. 26. Local access is only permitted northbound at Southwest Highland Parkway and southbound at Fairview Boulevard.

Street work has begun for Multnomah County's new Central Courthouse at First Avenue between Main and Madison streets. Upcoming road work will cause delays 8 p.m. -6 a.m. Monday-Thursday beginning February 13. Expect nighttime detours with lane closures.

Expect Southeast Pipeline Road to remain closed between Altman Road and 302nd Avenue due to damage to the road surface caused by flooding. The road will require major repairs. Use alternate routes such as Oxbow Drive and remember that nearby Southeast Lusted Road remains closed between Altman and Hosner roads because of a sinkhole from last week.
