Pacific Highway just north of Griffith Road is closed at least through Tuesday as road crews deal with a mudslide undermining the road.

According to Clark County Public Works Communications Manager Magan Reed, road crews discovered the slide Monday about 0.2 miles north of Northwest Griffith Road. The slide is south and east of where Interstate 5 crosses the Lewis River into Cowlitz County. 

Reed said crews are in the process of closing the road and adding detour signs. On Tuesday, geotechnical engineers will assess the damage. She said the department will have a timeline on repairs after the assessment.
