Caltrans release:

TRAFFIC ALERT: As of Tuesday afternoon, Route 36 remains fully closed east of Swimmer’s Delight (PM 15.7-16.3) in Humboldt County due to an active slide.

Helicopters have been brought in to remove slide material from the slope. That work is expected to take one to two days. Crews will then work to clean up and remove debris from the area. We aim to reopen the roadway by the end of the week, but please be aware this is an active slide and conditions may change causing additional delays. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of residents and travelers in the area.
