BAKER CITY, Ore. (AP) — Oregon U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley say the federal Transportation Department will release $3.2 million in emergency money to repair the flood-damaged Wallowa Mountain Loop Road.
Wyden said Wednesday it’s important to get the work done quickly since the road is an important scenic route for campers and hikers.
Heavy rain and melting snow triggered severe flooding in early June in parts of Eastern Oregon.
