Caltrans plans to re-open State Route 299 at 6:30 p.m. today after crews worked throughout the day to clear the roadway of trees and power lines downed by days of snowfall over the weekend.

According to Caltrans, the road will be open to two-way traffic from east of Blue Lake through Willow Creek, but people are urged to drive cautiously.

"This is an active construction zone with many trees and downed lines alongside the roadway," a brief press release states, adding that crews have been working "non-stop" to get the road reopened.

Beginning tomorrow, sections of the roadway between Blue Lake and Willow Creek will be under one-way traffic control, as crews continue to work on restoring power lines and removing downed trees.

State Route 96, meanwhile, remains closed due to down power lines and tree, though it is open to emergency vehicles.

Residents are urged to avoid travel in inclement weather, if possible.
