Watch Caltrans’ Explosive Boulder Removal!
CRESCENT CITY – Watch Caltrans’ latest News Flash video for a behind-the-scenes look at Caltrans Maintenance and Special Crews’ work to remove a rock hazard from above U.S. Highway 101 in Del Norte County. Caltrans Maintenance identified the boulder as a hazard after December winter weather events eroded the hillside enough to expose the car-sized rock. Caltrans worked with California State Parks to monitor the boulder’s status until a certified Caltrans blasting crew could respond and remove it in January.
