ODOT expects many Oregon highways to be very crowded in the days around the Aug. 21 #OReclipse. Many crashes are the result of distracted driving and traveling too fast for conditions. So we’re encouraging you to #DriveHealthy: Keep your hands on the wheel, your mind on the task, and your eyes on the road—not on the sky. It also means you must plan your travel well in advance.
Because of the expected large crowds, please treat the 3-hour eclipse as a 3-DAY event:
Arrive early, stay put and leave late.
