Caltrans Decides Collision Data Warrants Safety Improvements Near Dollar General Store in Smith River
Caltrans is pursuing funding for a project meant to address an increase in traffic collisions near the Dollar General store in Smith River.
The project would include a left turn pocket, a right turn lane and potential widening near U.S. 101 and Timbers Boulevard, Caltrans District 1 spokesman Myles Cochrane told the
Wild Rivers Outpost on Thursday. But it could be years before construction begins, he said.
According to Del Norte County Board of Supervisors chairman, Chris Howard, whose district includes Smith River, safety and congestion at that intersection has been a concern since the store opened about five years ago. Howard said several of his constituents expressed their concerns at a community meeting with Caltrans representatives David Morgan and Jaime Matteoli.
