Highway official weighs routes for Redwood freeway bypass
Sacramento based Highway Engineer George T. McCoy tentatively rejected Beaches and Parks plans to bypass Humboldt County redwood groves for Highway 101. He favored a low line route near the present highway, noting a public hearing and discussions with county supervisors before a recommendation. The low line would require about 1010 redwood trees larger than 30 inches and cost an estimated 36.42 million dollars, about one million more than the high line, with a length of 43 miles versus 44.6 for the high line. The decision awaits further study and public input.
