Caltrans release: 

Route 36 is now open to one-way traffic east of Swimmer’s Delight near Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park. Travelers should be prepared for delays and drive through the slide area with caution.

Beginning Tuesday, July 8, weekday traffic delays of up to two hours will occur between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. as crews continue work on slope stabilization and build a temporary lane farther from the hillside. Openings through the work zone will take place at the top of the hour at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and 5 p.m. — the same schedule used during previous work in this area.

Travelers should plan to arrive at the slide about 10 minutes before scheduled opening times.

Outside of those hours, when no active construction is scheduled, vehicles will be escorted through the area in small groups for safety. Delays will depend on traffic volumes and are difficult to predict, but 30 minutes is a reasonable estimate.

This schedule is likely to remain in place for several weeks. We’ll share any updates as soon as they’re available.
