Repairs to storm-damaged stretch of Highway 116 could take a year, Caltrans says

Repairs to storm-damaged Highway 116, a key thoroughfare along the lower Russian River in western Sonoma County, could take a year to complete once the work begins, with travel limited to one direction at a time until then, Caltrans officials said Tuesday.

That word came a day after the rain-saturated soil beneath a stretch of the highway just west of Monte Rio gave way about 4 p.m. Monday, spilling into the swollen Russian River.
