A landslide occurred on Tuesday, March 20 on the South Fork of the Eel River sometime between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. just to the north of what used to be the summer bridge (Carl Carter Bridge) and the Caltrans maintenance yard.

The slide was around 120 feet wide and 500-600 feet long and was about halfway across the river. There are trees, rocks, and debris in the muddy mess of redwood and fir trees. The slide did not appear to be moving as of Wednesday morning, but with more rain on the way the debris could potentially be washed downriver causing problems at area bridges.

Property owner, Liz Ziganti, said she didn't find out about it until she received a phone call from her brother, John Hull, who saw it from the bridge on his way home.
