HWY 101 Closed and so is HWY 96
UPDATE: As of 10:20 pm, one lane controlled traffic (that means flagman) on 101.
According to Caltrans, the following roads are closed
Highway 101 is closed 1.5 miles north of the junction with State Route 1 in Leggett due to a rock slide. Motorists are advised to use an alternate route. [The only alternate route I’m aware of is Bell Springs Rd.]
State Route 96 is closed 1 mile east of the south junction of State Route 169 in Weitchpec due to a rock slide [three 8-12 foot diameter boulders!] Motorists are advised to use an alternate route.

Bell Springs Road is snow and ice… Don’t try it.
I was wondering what kind of road Bell Springs Road was. Thanks for posting. I won’t try it.

CHP site says one lane open? I’m not totally sure.
I just checked and it is 1 lane controlled (flagman).

Do we have a new confusion hill?
I’m not hearing that it is that bad. I think it is just a maintenance cleanup not a long term construction problem.

Isn’t Bell Springs road also gvavel below all the snow and ice?
Yah, not a road to travel if you can avoid it. It’s pretty narrow too, I think, though it has been years since I was on it.

I meant gravel or dirt.
Bell Springs Road gets up over 3,000 feet at Bell Springs and there’s 2 or 3 feet of snow up there which means ice under the snow. PG&E uses snow cats up there in these conditions.
