Yes, Highway 36 is very much in “You Shall Not Pass” mode. Earlier today Caltrans posted the clip above showing a very active slide east of Carlotta and also had this to say:

As of 8 a.m., Monday, March 17, Route 36 is FULLY CLOSED east of Swimmer’s Delight near the Devil’s Elbow picnic area (PM 15-16). The road will be closed from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. and open from noon to 1 p.m.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Route 36 is scheduled to close east of Swimmer’s Delight near the Devil’s Elbow picnic area (PM 15-16) on Monday, March 17, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Vehicles will be allowed through from noon to 1 p.m.

Crews will be removing additional hazards and slide material that came down during the weekend’s storms. This schedule is subject to change depending on slide activity.

This video was taken Friday and shows some of the work being done to clear hazards from the slide area.

Remember, a quick glance of which routes in and out of Humboldt are passable is always available on the LoCO homepage under the Humboldt Roads banner.
