There is currently no estimated time of reopening.This comes after Caltrans had briefly reopened the road to one-way traffic control on Saturday morning, allowing vehicles to pass through with up to one-hour delays. At the time, the agency warned that the road could close again on short notice if slide activity resumed.The stretch of State Route 36 east of Swimmer’s Delight has been plagued by problems since a landslide first shut down the highway on March 4. Since then, the road has alternated between full closures and limited openings, with crews working to clear fallen debris and hazardous trees. Despite their efforts, the slide has continued to shift, making conditions unpredictable.Travelers are advised to check Caltrans QuickMap for updates.UPDATE 8:16 a.m.: According to a post as of 8:06 a.m. on the Caltrans District 1 Facebook page, “Route 36 is OPEN TO ONE-WAY TRAFFIC CONTROL with up to one hour delays east of Swimmer’s Delight near the Devil’s Elbow picnic area (PM 15-16) in Humboldt County.”UPDATE 11:38 p.m.: Caltrans tweeted,<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Rte 36 is scheduled to close east of Swimmer’s Delight near Devil’s Elbow picnic area on Monday, March 17, from 8a-noon and 1-5p.
