One Way Controlled Traffic on 36 Due to Slide

Slide on Hwy 36.

Heavy equipment is working to keep Hwy 36 open after a slide early this morning. [Photo provided by a reader]

An active slide in the Grizzly Creek area is causing problems. Caltrans reports, “Highway 36, PM 15.5, Humboldt County will have one-way traffic control due to slide.”

The CHP Traffic Incident Information Page states the slide blocked the road about 3:30 this morning and Caltrans was able to get one lane open before 4 a.m.

A traveler who sent the above photo told us, “We waited 20 minutes to get thru.”

Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.

To the traveler that had to wait twenty minutes to get through, I am sure Caltrans is very sorry for causing that slide to wreck your day. It could have come down on you friend. Be safe, 36 comes with prizes for those not following good driving rules.

A shame indeed they were only delayed a few minutes instead of being buried or being carried over the edge, into the river!!!

To the traveler who reported a 20 minute delay….. Thanks for the heads up that there is a delay! They weren’t bitching about caltrans making them wait. They were simply passing along the possible wait time.

That was my take as well. It was a statement of fact.
