Drivers along the Mendocino coast are getting a break after months of detours and delays. Caltrans says the Jack Peters Bridge on Highway 1 is back open to two-way traffic following a year of construction. The project widened the bridge and added safety upgrades, including a new pedestrian walkway. The bridge is a critical connection between Mendocino, Caspar, and Fort Bragg and has been a regular source of frustration for commuters. Officials say the upgrades should make travel smoother and safer going forward.
