SENECA — Highway 395 is now fully open to all traffic between Seneca and the U.S. 20 junction in Burns, the Oregon Department of Transportation announced on Wednesday, July 17.

ODOT had closed that stretch of highway on Monday because the Falls Fire was moving toward it, but the route reopened on Tuesday with pilot cars escorting motorists through the fire zone.

As of Wednesday, the route is again open to normal traffic without the use of pilot cars.

Travelers are advised to use caution due to ongoing fire activity in the area. Crews will continue to monitor the situation and will close the highway if necessary.
