Deadboy Posted January 29 It's highway 1 right near where they had some fires earlier in the year, they'll have it opened by next week.... Ok just saw an aerial photo, maybe 2 weeks Share this post Link to post
eddd Posted January 30 Nothing but smooth, wide, and level roads in Barstow...just sayin' 1 Share this post Link to post
BrianT Posted January 30 Looking at the closure on the map, it looks like a lot of the same area that was previously closed for a year or two after the last big slide. Hopefully a lot of the resources used for that repair are still handy. Share this post Link to post

Hopefully a lot of the resources used for that repair are still handy. Same general area, totally different situation. Previous one was massive landslide coupled with a bridge that was damaged and had to be replaced. Share this post Link to post

Do they fill (seems almost impossible) and replace the road where it sat, or do they just cut another path more inland and avoid the slide area... Share this post Link to post
Deadboy Posted January 31 I assume they will cut a "bench" below once the soil dries and then build up a new section of cliff. We actually had a similar slide (smaller) on my local road and that is the technique they used in that situation. 1 Share this post Link to post

Put in a bridge to span the natural cut. Bridges are spensive, but then so is repeated repair of highway. 1 Share this post Link to post

Bill_Walker Posted February 10 On the bright side, if it's not open in time for the UN, that should cut way down on the traffic on CA-1 if you want to ride it as an out-and-back (and you should!). 2 Share this post Link to post
