U.S. Highway 101 between Klamath and Crescent City has reopened after a slide closed it last night about 8:50 p.m.

Caltrans District One tweeted almost exactly 12 hours later at 8:50 a.m., “US 101 OPEN, One-Way…Expect 15-20 minute delays.”

Crews worked through the night and early morning hours to get the road re-opened after the slide, which came down at milepost 14.9 in the failing 3-mile stretch of highway south of Crescent City know as Last Chance Grade.
