197/199 Safe STAA Access
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has proposed improvements to Routes 197 and 199 in Del Norte County to allow larger, industry standard-sized trucks access to the North Coast from the east. These projects propose adjustments to Route 197 near Ruby Van Deventer County Park (Ruby 1 and Ruby 2) and on Route 199 near the Narrows, at Washington Curve, and in the Patrick Creek area. These projects will remove existing restrictions to Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) trucks, now considered the industry standard.
