The roads are recovering from this weekend’s storm but we’ve still got some problems. Here’s what we know about state and county roads all in one place so you can make the best choices as you travel. (Check the Caltrans Quick Map for recent changes but we’ll try to keep this list current as much as possible. If the road isn’t listed, it should be clear. Last update 6 p.m. Wednesday)

State Highways:

(Highways are listed from largest number to smallest.)

Hwy 299- The slide by Big French Gulch 1.3 miles east of Del Loma near Big Bar in Trinity County is open with one-way controlled traffic. Caltrans tells motorists to anticipate delays of at least 30 minutes. District One’s Facebook page posted, “Traffic control will remain in place until further notice; the highway will stay open at night unless the slide destabilizes.”

Hwy 271- Closed due to slipout.

Hwy 254 (Avenue of the Giants): Clear. Check Caltrans Quick Map for the latest.

Hwy 101: Open.

Thanks again Kim … Perhaps it would help logistically if there was a “Date & Time Stamp” on the up dates for each road event listed so we can see how things are improving.
