Caltrans officials are “working every truck in town” to remove 12,000 cubic yards of debris off U.S. 101 in the Last Chance Grade area, Del Norte Emergency Services Manager Kymmie Scott reported Saturday.
The department hopes to reopen the highway south of Crescent City by 8 p.m., said Scott, who met with state and local officials earlier Saturday afternoon, but can’t make any promises.
