“Progress to date on the emergency repairs on SR-330 is well ahead of earlier estimates. Given this, we are targeting opening the highway to traffic before the 4th of July holiday absent some unforeseen issue. We are also attempting to perform enough work to hopefully open the highway for the Memorial Day weekend- even if we return to limited use (morning and evening commute hours) after the holiday weekend. Without the focused efforts of everyone engaged in this work, the reality of traffic restoration on the highway would be months in the future,” states Dr. Wolfe.
Dr. Wolfe continued as he acknowledged the hard work and dedication of a number of the Department’s partners in this effort- Skanska and SEMA Construction; their sub contractors and material suppliers; the U.S. Forest Service, the Federal Highway Administration; the California Highway Patrol and all who have contributed to the acceleration of the work. The public is cautioned, that although the Department is releasing this information today, a great deal of work remains and with that lies potential risks that could force these dates to shift. Caltrans will continue to update you on the progress and notify you of any changes as warranted.
