Highway 20 east of Sweet Home will shut down to replace a bridge, complicating traffic from Corvallis to Sisters. The Sheep Creek Bridge on U.S. Highway 20, about 25 miles east of Sweet Home, is being rebuilt to mitigate impacts from a major landslide. Work begins Aug. 2.
All traffic traveling from Corvallis to Sisters will need to use alternate routes such as Highway 22 (east of Salem) or Highway 138 (east of Eugene) to reach Santiam Pass and Central Oregon.

The punchline...
Seems to be about here?
(emphasis mine)A major highway through the Cascade Mountains will be closed for six to eight weeks, limiting the number of roads people can travel from the Willamette Valley to Central Oregon and back.
