Just in case anyone has been planning a ride that includes Hwy 236 in Santa Cruz
County, it is scheduled for closure to fix a slide that happened last winter.
The closure will be between Boulder Creek and Jamison Creek Rd; will be enforced
from dawn to dusk Monday through Saturday; will start Monday, 6/22; and will
last for three to four weeks. There is a bypass, Acorn Rd., but Caltrans will
have it closed to cars because it is extremely narrow; at this point it is
unclear if Acorn will be open to bicycles but I will find out next week and post
a follow up. Hwy 236 will be open from the northern junction with Hwy 9 to
Jamison Creek, but expect more than usual traffic on it, Jamison, and Alba Rd
since those are the detour routes.
