(CAPE MEARS) - Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint, one of the busiest day-use state parks on the north Oregon coast, will be closed Monday through Wednesday while contractors pave its parking area.

An expansion project has restricted parking in the park since Sept. 18th.

Those restrictions are expected to continue until mid-November.

Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint is 10 miles west of Tillamook off the Three Capes Scenic Loop.

Managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the park provides facilities for wildlife viewing and services for visitors to the Cape Meares Lighthouse.
