Phase 1 of the $210 million Willits Bypass Project is underway and I am starting to feel like one of those tree-sitters that are trying to halt construction. It's not that I support these people; it's just that I have been sitting patiently by the phone for a week now, waiting for a member of the project team to get back to me with more information.
While waiting, I found out that the two-phase project will construct a new segment of Route 101 that will bypass the City of Willits, in Mendocino County, CA. Caltrans says the 5.9-mile bypass will relieve congestion, reduce delays, and improve safety for interregional traffic.
