Road Photos by Danny Millsap

Danny Millsap, Supervisor, Cal-Trans Willow Springs Maintenance Yard sent me the following three photos:


These are the waves at Shale Point which caused the erosion to the sea wall, undermining the road there. That has been fixed and both lanes are now open.


This was a slide near Limekiln on January 19, 2010. Our Cal-Trans crew is always busy during the winter, keeping the road open for us, and our traveling public.


This is the slip-out at Lucia, taken February 6, 2010.

Thanks for sending these, Danny! And tell your crew we appreciate all that they do for us and how hard they work! You are all so awesome!

  • Incredible shots! They tell the whole story. Agreed...hats off to Danny and the whole crew. I see them do miracles on that sketchy road every day.
