Lincoln City: Traffic Nightmare!! Kernville Bridge to Nelscott
11:45am Sunday: Traffic northbound into Lincoln City is reported to be bumper to bumper from Kernville Bridge through Taft, past Spanish Head and through Nelscott – ODOT construction zone.
If you’re bound for suburban Portland, we’d recommend taking Highway 20 to either Highway 99 or Interstate 5, east of Corvallis. It’s a little farther but there are no delays. The construction zone through Nelscott (southern Lincoln City) is very slow going and is frequently dead stopped for extended periods.
