Document Description
Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are proposing to construct a new segment of US 101 that would bypass the town of Willits (PM R43.1 to R52.3). US 101 is an important route for interstate and inter-regional travel and is considered the economic lifeline of California's North Coast. It is the principal arterial route for people and goods between the SF Bay Area and the greater Eureka-Arcata area. US 101 serves as Main Street in Willits and is the only continuous north-south street traversing the city. The purpose of the project is to bypass the City of Willits to reduce delays, improve safety, and achieve a minimum level of service (LOS) "C" for inter-regional traffic on US 101 within the project area through the 20 year design period.
