(UPDATE) Highway 299 Closed at Berry Summit!
UPDATE, 8:20 a.m.: One-way controlled traffic with long delays in place, says CHP dispatch. Sounds like it’s pretty backed up at the moment — avoid it if you can.
###
UPDATE, 6:30 a.m.: CHP dispatch notes that all lanes are still covered and it’ll be three to four hours before the roadway is open. So 9:30 a.m. at the very earliest.
###
Highway 299 is closed at Berry Summit this morning due to a mudslide, or boulders in the road. (It’s not clear which at the moment.) No travel between Blue Lake and Willow Creek.
