Yes, finally, this coming July 4th weekend will see the opening of at least the South Bound lanes through the new Confusion Hill Highway 101 by-pass opening Humboldt Up to the outside world! Caltrans has been working on this project for at least the past ten years.
For as long as I can remember, every winter, when we would drive down south to San Francisco during the winter months, there would be rain and that rain would cause the dirt and gravel from the top of the mountains at Confusion Hill to slide down onto Highway 101 and block traffic coming into Humboldt County through the Redwood Curtain. Caltrans has had to close traffic each time from 1997 on during the heavy rain season because of this situation. That would slow traffic, or pause it all together.
Now, with this new by-pass, traffic can flow readily in and out of Humboldt County year round! I am so happy for this and cannot wait til I get to use it myself on my way to visit San Francisco from Eureka. I hope you will visit us in the Redwood Curtain soon and feel free to call me for your real estate needs in Northern California.
