Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region
- A traffic accident happened today on the southbound side of Highway 17 near the Pasatiempo Drive off-ramp. A gray Toyota Camry and a white Toyota Celica or similar vehicle were involved. The crash occurred when a vehicle in front braked suddenly, causing the car behind to swerve and collide. People stopped in the roadway, and those involved were on the right-hand side.
- Long-term projects: A single lane on Little Basin Rd is closed from December 23 to April 25, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., to build retaining walls, causing traffic delays.
