Yes, these delays on CA-299 are all from new slides in the past couple weeks:
Last Tuesday, May 2 - CA-299 had two blockages / delays.
One near Burnt Ranch was alternating one way traffic for a slide repair. Probably 5-10 minute delay.
One near Big Bar closes CA-299 for road work. They open up CA-299 for traffic once an hour - one way first then the other way - between 6 pm and 6 am. CalTrans says expect a one hour delay. Between 6am and 6pm - they open up the road for traffic each half-hour.
Three people I spoke with who traveled CA-299 from Redding to Eureka during the day time said their total delay was 1 hour, 80 minutes and 2 hours.
These slides / repairs should be completed/ repaired before your trip.
(FYI - south of Crescent City about 8-15 miles on US-101 - Thursday - there were five single lane sections due to repairs/ road work - three pilot car - two traffic light - total delay was about 45 minutes northbound at 11am.)
