UPDATE 4/7/18 11:30a.m.— Caltrans crews worked through the night on Hwy. 1, and and were able to clear the slide from west of Leggett and re-open the road. Currently, only the 128 remains closed from mile marker 0 (the intersection with Hwy. 1) and mile marker 11. However, as of this morning, Caltrans is reporting that the river appears to have crested and the water is receding.
We’ll keep posting updates about any changes in road closures or conditions. More rain is expected later today so you can check for current road conditions before heading out at the Caltrans quick map guide or at the California Highway Patrol’s incident page; current weather conditions can be found here.
