MENDOCINO CO., 2/4/17 — Highway 1 closed just west of the intersection with Highway 101 at Leggett due to a slide on the evening of Friday, Feb. 3 at around 7:15pm. Mud from the slide pushed a k-rail across the road, according to Facebook post from Caltrans. The slide appears to have shut down Highway 1 for several miles in both directions, beginning with mile marker 1 west of the 101.
