Confusion Hill Bypass Underway

I knew it was in the works but didn't know they'd started work on the bypass of Highway 101 around Confusion Hill. We drove by there twice earlier this week and didn't notice anything new. Thanks to the Redwood Times for the heads up. Did I miss it in any of the other papers?

If you want to see what the plan is check out the Caltrans web site. Looks like the bypass will start at the Redwood Resort, spanning the river northward and cutting into the mountainside just north and across the river from the slide area. Then, the second span of bridge brings it back over the river again to the highway.

This will certainly be something to look forward to. It's supposed to be completed around 2009. I might just live long enough to see it finished.
