Traffic advisory:
There is bridge construction on Highway 30 3 miles east of Astoria. There is construction work on the Young's Bay bridge between Astoria and Warrenton. There is also some construction just south of Warrenton and before the Cullaby Lake turn off.
The Coast Route "Nilsen Alternate" - Less traffic, fewer hills. A little longer distance.
The Coast Route - Uses the Longview cutoff, avoiding Portland traffic; this is the "traditional"
route.
The "No Traffic in Portland Route" - This is the route the Oregon racers take, as Highway
26 to 101 is the route from the Portland Metro area. This is the way to go if you have to come through
Portland.
The South "No Traffic in Portland Route" - This route brings you into the Portland Metro
Area, but shy of Portland - still not good at rush hour, though.
The South "Back Way" - This pulls you through Salem, where there may be some rush hour
traffic, but nothing like Portland. It is longer though.
