Caltrans is alerting motorists that the reopening of one-way traffic control on State Route 70 has been canceled due to a rockslide within the Cresta Project area, caused by the rainy weather last weekend.
The Highway 70 closure has been in place since late February from Jarbo Gap to the Greenville Wye. There is no estimate on when the highway will reopen. Crews originally planned to reopen the highway during the evenings with one-way traffic control starting May 6; however, that plan is now on hold as crews clean up the new rockslide and address any new damage caused by the storm.
Motorists are encouraged to check Caltrans’ QuickMap before traveling for current road conditions and chain requirements or download the QuickMap app from the App Store or Google Play. Road information is also available on Caltrans’ website or by calling the California Highway Information Network automated phone service at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
Caltrans District 3 will issue updates on X @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook CaltransDistrict3.
