Highway 35 to close for one week
Highway 35/Bear Creek Road just north of Zayante Road will be closed day and night Thursday through March 8, Santa Cruz County officials said.
According to officials, the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 35/Bear Creek Road and the intersection of Highway 35/Bear Creek Road and Summit Road will be closed for slope repair because of winter storms.
Officials said residents on the Boulder Creek side can use Bear Creek Road to reach Boulder Creek or Highway 35 to Black Road. Drivers on the Highway 17 side can use Highway 35/Summit Road to Highway 17.
A full closure is also scheduled on State Route 35 from just north of Black Road to Castle Rock Road because of a major washout. It is unknown when that section of highway will reopen, officials said.
