With productivity “skyrocketing” at Last Chance Grade just two days after Caltrans implemented four-hour closures on U.S. 101, Project Manager Sebastian Cohen told Del Norters that schedule adjustments were a possibility, though he couldn’t say when.
Bridge work at Hunter Creek south of the slide presents further challenges for motorists and making adjustments, including doing the project at night, wouldn’t make a difference, Cohen told the public at a town hall meeting Wednesday.

Independence Day always draws crowds to Crescent City and this year will be no exception.
In fact, despite the road closure at Last Chance Grade, visitors have already arrived in Del Norte County, Cindy Vosburg, executive director of the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce, told the
Wild Rivers Outpost on Wednesday.
Motels have been at “100 percent capacity since April,” Vosburg said. The chamber’s visitor center has seen more than 100 people every day for a few weeks Vosburg said the numbers are greater than those in 2018 and 2019.
