[UPDATE 3:37 p.m.] Route 271: Detour for 101 South Blocked by a Slide
Caltrans spokesperson Eli Rohl thinks that the slide on 271 will be removed quickly but, if not…we don’t want to alarm anyone but our southern route out of Humboldt County–Hwy 101–and our two eastern routes out–Hwy 36 and Hwy 299–are currently closed…
UPDATE 2:46 p.m.: Rohl said that Caltrans will temporarily reopen Hwy 101 to allow traffic through the area. “[T]here’s a potential for more slide activity on 101 and it’s unlikely we’ll leave traffic on it tonight, but for now it’s the best option.”
UPDATE 3:37 p.m.: Hwy 101 is currently open, according to Rohl.

Anyone know if 101 temp opened in in line and will turn around if so
101 is in same shape it’s been only reason closed is thinking whole slide will go
Are you stuck in the line?
Been stuck for a while
It’s confusing. Are they opening 101 or 271? I’m waiting in cooks valley
They are opening 101 temporarily.
101 is closed
J, is 271 closed or is it open for the detour again?
Is 101 open today?
There is a detour through Hwy 271 near Piercy but it should only add about 10 minutes.
We were in line now we are headed south 101. Turn around and go back to 101.
Wasn’t the road blocked by the slide?
I’m in the line, is 101 opened up ?
Not yet
101 is open
101 is open.
Just made it through.
Good luck all,Please be careful.god bless
This is all Dilbert’s fault.
Wow! You know it’s bad when the detour route gets closed, too! Glad to know traffic is moving through, now.
I’d rather wait for the chainsaw brigade to show up, than risk the 101 sliding more. Hurry Buzz!
