Sometimes the mountain falls onto the road.

...works every time...
Just needs to push the remaining dirt away and build a bridge.
“My guess is a total reroute away from the slide area.”
That’s what I would think, maybe blasting back into the mountainside? Not really much chance of an entirely new route through the national forest not adjacent to the current one, though.
California engineering and construction firms may be able to help out due to their many years of expertise in roadway repair on CA Route 1 through Big Sur. Also, CA Hwy 60 in the badlands area between Moreno Valley and Beaumont was just widened by two lanes, a job that required massively high retaining walls and soil fill.
Sad that this is in one our reddest states. I can’t imagine nobody predicted this.
How long will it take for the left to blame this on climate change?
Nothing that a little plywood and duct tape won’t fix.
Don’t forget the baling wire!
This is like US 50 in Colorado. Detours that take hours unless you are very local.
Reminds me of a patient I once had. Got his big toe nearly cut off. Doctor wanted to amputate; nope. He went home, sewed it back up himself and began clean transmission fluid soaks. It healed. He was diabetic, too.
No prob. Drive down and then back up. And EV could do it. Bet Old Joe did it back in Scranton a couple of times.
Come on man!
Taking someone to the Train Station is going to take a lot longer now.
Wow. Sowed it up himself. Brave guy.
Biden will fix it unless cannibals interfere.
I know. Shudder.
There is now no road connection between Teton County, Wyoming, and Teton County, Idaho.
I think it is safe to say the Teton pass route isn’t going to get fixed this year. It is not like a simple washout when a bunch of dirt can be hauled in to recreate the road bed...
Yes, those Big Sur failures are similar.
It’ll get built back better, I’m sure.
Throw the jet thrusters off exactly when we jump.
