Oregon Route 182 was an Oregon state highway running from Devils Punch Bowl State Park in Lincoln County to U.S. Route 101 (US 101) near Newport, Oregon. OR 182, also known as the Otter Rock Highway No. 182 (see Oregon highways and routes). was {{convert|0.75|mi|km}} long and ran east–west, entirely within Lincoln County.
OR 182 was established in 2002 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned. The Otter Rock Highway had been designated by the state government in 1947 and primarily functioned as a spur route to the state park. OR 182 was transferred from ODOT jurisdiction in 2005 and is no longer part of the Oregon state highway system, though it may be maintained as a highway class roadway by either county or local government.
Route description
OR 182 began at the parking lot for Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area, a small rock feature on the Pacific Coast in western Oregon. It traveled east along 1st Street through the unincorporated community of Otter Rock and turned northeast onto Otter Crest Loop. OR 182 then followed Otter Crest Loop to its terminus, a junction with US 101 north of Newport.{{google maps |title=Former Oregon Route 182 |url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/44.7472031,-124.0647502/44.7488589,-124.0513691/@44.7481867,-124.0674213,3118m/am=t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0 |accessdate=August 10, 2021}}{{cite map |year=2003 |title=Oregon Transportation Map Showing Functional Classification of Roads: Lincoln County, Sheet 1 of 2 |url=http://egov.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TDATA/gis/docs/countymaps/linc1.pdf |publisher=Oregon Department of Transportation |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060902184108/http://egov.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TDATA/gis/docs/countymaps/linc1.pdf |archivedate=September 2, 2006 |accessdate=August 10, 2021}}
