Road conditions Feb 27, work begins on Orr Springs Road

MENDOCINO Co. 2/27/2017 –UPDATE 11:15am: The southbound ramp onto the Willits bypass from Hwy 20 is experiencing intermittent closures due to slide damage at the rock slope. Motorists should expect five to ten-minute delays.

Orr Springs Road is expected to be closed for another 10-14 days, as the Mendocino County Department of Transportation installs a Bailey Bridge across the sinkhole 5 miles west of Ukiah. The Bailey Bridge is a small prefabricated structure that was in heavy use by the British during World War II. It can be assembled by hand, without heavy equipment. No pedestrian traffic will be allowed in the work zone.
