Original post: A traffic accident has shut down northbound traffic on Highway 101 at the Eel River Bridge just north of Rio Dell. The California Highway Patrol dispatch notes a four-vehicle traffic accident at that location just after 1:10 p.m. 

Caltrans District 1 says the road should be cleared by 5 p.m. If you don’t see a big “STOP” sign at the center of the map above, traffic is likely flowing again. We’ll update this post when we know more.
