Rock & Mudslide just South of Lucia

11:30 pm – CHP has taken this off their website, but knowing what I do about the way CT works, I can’t imagine that it is cleared, unless CHP got out with a shovel in the rain and falling rocks. Doubtful.

10:30 pm – While I really don’t like to post so many times in one day, I believe another post is necessary. As of a little after 10 pm this evening, the CHP website is reporting a rock and mudslide just south of Lucia covering both the North and South bound lanes. It is reporting that the slide either needs to be cleared or the road closed.

10:18PM 1039 ENTAC
10:12PM PER UNIT RDWY WILL NEED TO BE CLRD OR CLSD
10:11PM BLKG NB AND SB LANES
9:50PM VEH 1125/1126

Given that it is too dangerous for Cal-Trans to work in the dark down here, I would venture an educated guess that the road will be closed until they can get out in the morning on dawn patrol to clean it up.

Sorry about all the multiple posts today, but what’s a journalistic-type blogger to do?
