A slide has shut down both lanes of Highway 101 just south of Crescent City.
According to the California Highway Patrol incident report, crews have completely closed off the roadway. The Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office and Department of Transportation have been alerted to the slide.
A driver that encountered the slide has reached out to LoCO and said multiple trees are also blocking the roadway.
According to scanner traffic, the road is expected to be shut down for four hours.
We will update when we know more.
