Highway 9 set for overnight closures on Tuesday and Wednesday for slide repair at Jaye’s Slide 

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV)- Drivers that use Highway 9 will experience some traffic delays on Tuesday and Wednesday night

Caltrans announced that a full closure of Highway 9 will take place at Jaye’s Slide as crews will be making repairs to the area which was damaged as a result of the winter storms.

The closure will take place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. A detour will be available via Glen Arbor Road and drivers can expect a delay for up to 10 minutes.

Jaye's Slide is located on Highway 9 in Ben Lomond near Park Way and Shadowbrook Road which is near the north end of Highlands County Park.

Caltrans said that the closures will permit crews to investigate and confirm utility locations which will facilitate future repairs at that location. The repair work at Jaye's Slide is being staggered to avoid closures during the holidays in the summer.
