(UPDATE: PARTIALLY OPEN) Highway 101 Fully Closed in Northern Mendocino After Tanker Truck Overturns
UPDATE, 5:45 p.m.: The highway has been opened to one-way controlled traffic, according to Caltrans District One and CHP dispatch, below.
###
From Caltrans:
This morning at about 7 a.m. U.S. highway 101 was closed north of Leggett in Mendocino County due to an overturned truck leaking fuel.
This two-lane section of U.S 101 has no easy detour. It is not known how long the highway will remain closed. Motorists wishing to go around the closure must use I-5, resulting in a five hour or longer detour.
Updates from CHP below.
