Full Closure of 197 With 199 Detour Available

Beginning Monday, August 5th, Route 197 north of Crescent City in Del Norte County will be fully closed from about 2.8 to 3.2 miles from the 101 junction from August 5 through August 15.

Necessary drainage repairs will be underway. Because Route 199 is available as a detour it was decided that a full closure was more favorable instead of one-way traffic control. The decision shaved nine weeks of traffic impacts off the project and saving taxpayers over $1.5 million dollars.

Residents will still be able to access their driveways from both endpoints of Route 197.
