UPDATE, 5:30 p.m.: Not quite, Caltrans! (See below.) A PG&E rep rings up to let LoCO readers know that her company does not serve Del Norte; the pole in question most likely belongs to Pacific Power, she said.

The Outpost regrets the error on Caltrans’ behalf.

UPDATE, 4:38 p.m.: The road is open now. You may drive.

Original Post: From Caltrans Media:

U.S. Highway 101 is closed approximately 10 miles north of the Del Norte County line (near Trees of Mystery) due to a downed tree that has fallen into power lines. Caltrans and fire personnel are on scene, and PG&E is en route. No ETO at this time.
