Thursday, September 3, 2026, at 6:00 AM, the northern closure of Highway 1 (MM 56.0 to MM 45.0) will be lifted in its entirety.
To ensure public safety and facilitate firefighting efforts for the Plaskett Fire, the California Highway Patrol will continue to implement a hard closure of the Highway between MM16.0 (Pacific Valley) and MM 0.0 (Countyline).
The Library will reopen on Saturday at 11 AM.
A good place for updates on the two fires is: watchduty.org
