Brought to you by:
WINTER DRIVING SEASON HAS BEGUN. BY LAW YOU MUST HAVE TRACTION DEVICES WITH YOU, OR OTHERWISE MEET SNOW ZONE LAW REQUIREMENTS
Icy spots can occur in the overnights and mornings when cold temps are present. Be prepared.
REMINDER: PLAN AHEAD FOR 199/197 WORK IN DEL NORTE COUNTY. THIS WILL CAUSE HIGHWAY 199 AND HIGHWAY 197 TO BE CLOSED TO ALLOW WORK TO BE DONE.
DEL NORTE 199/197 FULL CLOSURES EXPECTED IN JANUARY: Full closures on U.S. 199 or Route 197 northeast of Crescent City are not expected to begin until January 2027.
When full closures begin, they should be expected Tuesdays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Exact dates will be announced as the schedule is finalized. Our first full closure location is expected to be along Route 199 in the Patrick Creek area, roughly 23 miles from U.S. 101. Scheduled full closures will be necessary for safety during operations like rock blasting and slope stabilization.
In the meantime, keep expecting one-way traffic delays weekdays and please slow for the cone zone. Travelers can check our weekly traffic report at

This project is improving approximately 1.7 miles of roadway with wider lanes and shoulders, better sight distances, bridge and drainage upgrades, and slope stabilization, making the highways safer while allowing industry-standard STAA trucks to travel through previously restricted sections.
