Remember how we told you that Highway 36 reopened yesterday?

Well, Caltrans reports that the road has been closed once again, due to burnt trees blocking the roadway.

Caltrans anticipates that fire crews will finish clearing the highway within the next few hours.

Highway 36 was reopened yesterday at the Humboldt/Trinity County for the first time in nearly three weeks. The closures are a result of ongoing wildfires that have plagued the Emerald Triangle this month.
