Highway 36 update from Caltrans:

36 OPEN AHEAD OF SCHEDULE: Route 36 has OPENED east of Swimmer’s Delight in Humboldt County as we respond to a slide. Travelers should expect delays as we still have a lot of work to do.

PLAN AHEAD: On Friday, this location will be OPEN until 9 a.m. Then traffic will be held for 2-hour stretches, with traffic allowed through at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and then OPEN after 5 p.m. for the rest of the evening. We’ll aim for shorter delays outside of those hours in the morning, evening, and weekend. Please remember these delays are subject to change with conditions.

It’s recommended to arrive at this location up to 15 minutes before the road opens. Please travel through the area with caution. Emergency vehicles will be accommodated through the closure.
