Caltrans has reconfigured the stretch of a severely damaged portion of Highway 84 near Woodside that has been reduced to one-way traffic since late July, according to a Nov. 27 Caltrans newsletter. The roadway was completely shut down from March to July after a storm caused a 250-foot landslide.

The week of Nov. 20, Caltrans switched one-way traffic to the newly paved uphill side of Highway 84 to allow crews to continue repairs to the lower slope.

Caltrans also noted that work on the architectural "skin" (the roadway facade) is being postponed so crews can focus on fixing the lower wall ahead of winter weather.

Ongoing work on the project includes installing connecting upper slope drainage systems, along with culvert and vegetation control along Highway 84

The roadway was shut down completely from early March until July 27 following a 250-foot landslide during a storm. The damaged area, also called La Honda Road, is east of Highway 35, and traffic had to detour on Old La Honda and Kings Mountain roads during the full closure.

Two-way traffic isn't expected to be reopened until March of 2024 at the earliest, and could take until May, according to Caltrans.
