Road Closures
This section contains details about road closures currently in place in Waze, usually through disconnecting of segments to prevent Waze from routing along a certain stretch of road. If you perform a closure in Waze, please document it here so other area managers can ensure the roads are reconnected at the appropriate time.

| Old McKenzie Pass OR-242 | FzNk | 2017-09 | Unknown |
Both gates closed due to the Milli Fire and may remain closed for the season. KEEP THE FOLLOWING FOR FUTURE REFERENCE: Area Places for the closure gates should be large in the winter for better app visibility. Shrink the area in the summer. |
Future New or Realigned Roads
Large road construction projects often have website project pages and give notice to the public prior to starting. If we stage these roads in Waze and have them ready to deploy when they open to the public, Waze will be a leader in update map providers.
