[UPDATE 2:22 p.m.] Traffic Backup on Hwy 36 After Tree Fell
A tree collapsed on Hwy 36 near Murrish Market in Hydesville a little after noon today. Traffic is having trouble navigating the situation. “Traffic is stacking up,” said Jolene Evans who provided these photos.
Avoid the area if you can.
UPDATE 1:07 p.m.: The California Highway Patrol incident page states that it will be about 1:50 p.m. before the road opens up.
UPDATE 2:22 p.m.: Because of equipment issues, the road is still only open to one-way controlled traffic.

On our way back from town, as we approached the intersection of Rohnerville Rd and 36. We could see the flashing lights and make out the green Obstackle. “Oh great” Wunder how long this’ll take? Stopped at the market for gas and slowly cruised through the controlled one lane traffic. Pretty good sized pine, covered both lanes. It would have given you a heck of a head ache if you timing was bad.
I thought it was a German Nazi gestapo checkpoint
So strange because in the morning hours, a Redwood tree fell on a Caltrans truck just up the road from this. Cue Twilight Zone theme song
This morning?
