Klamath US-101 Bridge Corridor Has Daytime One-Way Traffic Through October 30, Caltrans Reports

KLAMATH, Del Norte County — October 26, 2026. Drivers using US-101 through the Klamath River corridor should plan for daytime construction restrictions this week. A California Department of Transportation road-conditions bulletin updated October 26 lists alternating one-way traffic at various locations near Klamath River Bridge in Del Norte County.

The agency’s planned hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, through October 30. Delays of up to 15 minutes are possible while flaggers alternate directions. The highway remains listed for one-way traffic control, not a continuous full closure that prevents all through travel.

Why the specific crossing matters

Klamath lies on a key coastal connection for residents, businesses and visitors traveling between Crescent City and Humboldt County. Travel times can change more sharply on a two-lane approach than on a divided highway. Drivers with scheduled appointments, school or work trips should allow additional time and watch for workers and portable signs.

This is a report of a scheduled construction restriction, not confirmation that delays are occurring at every minute. Weather, traffic incidents and project operations can change field conditions. The latest conditions should be checked before leaving, using the same official source as the announcement.
