As Predicted, Casino Opening Clogging 101

The Graton Resort and Casino opened Tuesday morning in Rohnert Park.

On the day of the Graton Resort and Casino's grand opening in Rohnert Park, traffic on Highway 101 is slowing to a crawl.

The CHP and Google Maps both report heavy traffic on northbound Highway 101.

"Please use SR-116 Cotati to Stony Point as an alternate route to the Casino," the CHP said in a press release.

The CHP predicted extra traffic due to the opening, and expects heavy traffic into the afternoon.

A four-vehicle accident was also reported in Petaluma at the Lakeville Highway offramp, but the vehicles have been moved to the shoulder, according to the CHP's website.
