Solution in the works for Last Chance Grade

July 22, 2022

A “unified front” of elected public officials, finance administrators, project engineers, scientists and public land managers provided project updates for Del Norte County’s notorious Last Change Grade along Highway 101 between Crescent City and Klamath.

Sponsored and organized by State Senator Mike McGuire, this annual progress report was presented in a livestream Town Hall format last Tuesday, July 12, and gave the public an opportunity to question the experts.

The biggest news, according to Sen. McGuire, is that the Last Chance Grade project is “on time and on budget.” In addition, the project has received $50 million in funding that has allowed the project to undergo geotechnical, environmental and engineering studies.
