Periodic Closures of Table Bluff Road Expected to Begin December 18th
Press release from the Humboldt County Public Works Department:
During the week of December [18th], 2023, Humboldt County Public Works will need to intermittently close Table Bluff Road between Indianola Reservation Road and South Jetty Road from 8am through 4pm.
Near this location, the California Department of Wildlife (CDFW) will be conducting activities related to The Table Bluff Ecological Reserve Coastal Prairie Restoration Project. This multi-agency restoration project will use helicopters to relocate downed trees from the Table Bluff area to Ocean Ranch. The flight path of the helicopters will fly over portions of Table Bluff Road and for safety reasons the roadway will need to be closed while the helicopters are conducting activities.
Intermittent road closures will occur for undetermined lengths of time (at the time of this posting). Humboldt County Public Works is anticipating closures to last between 30 – 120 minutes followed by brief openings to allow for passage of traffic.
Emergency services will be allowed to pass as needed.
