(Replaces schedule posted earlier today)
Route 36 remains open to one-way traffic east of Swimmer’s Delight near Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park. Travelers should continue to expect delays and use extra caution when passing through the active slide zone.
Beginning next week, our weekday traffic control schedule will shift to help work around school travel. This replaces the schedule we posted earlier today. Please PLAN AHEAD and arrive at least 15 minutes before scheduled opening and closing times to ensure efficiency.
New weekday schedule:
🔴 Closed 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
🟢 Release traffic at 12 p.m.
🔴 Closed until 3 p.m.
🟢 Open 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
🔴 Closed 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
🟢 Open after 6 p.m.
We’ve established our working bench all the way across the slide area, meaning the full work zone is now in place. Repairs are being expedited, with ongoing adjustments and slight design changes to keep progress moving.
We’ll share updates as they become available. For near real-time info, follow us here or check quickmap.dot.ca.gov or the QuickMap app.

I don’t understand how this helps the school schedule? Now people farther east have to leave before 6am when the old schedule accommodated busses before the 9am closure and the 3pm is the same for after school…who does this help?

Chuck, no one gives 2 sh*ts about the buses. Way more important is that some jackass thinks opening the road only once between 9am and 3pm, and then adding an extra hour of delay at the end of the workday, is a good idea….To quote Bugs Bunny, “What a buffoon, what an ultramaroon!!!”

Enough already with this BS!

Nevermind milking the crap out of this job, how about they just get their act together and move the F**KING SLIDE out of the way and open the entire road?

I’m willing to bet their working bench will fail, simply because I believe they designed it that way.

This crew needs to work on Redwood House Rd. in order to have enough experience to complete the Hwy 36 repair.

IDIOTS!!

Thanks for sharing the update shifting the repair schedule on Route 36 to better fit school travel hours shows thoughtful planning for families and commuters. It also highlights the importance of alternatives like using a trusted service such as BlueNileLivery.com when road delays affect routine transit.
