GREENROOM Art center to hold Elves Workshops for kids CaltransDistrict2,along with contractor Steve Man- ning, Inc., have resumed work on State Route 299W at Big French Creek Road following two rock slides on Monday. During the slides about 100 thousand cubic yards of debris fell into the catch- mentareaandontotheroad. Caltrans Inspectors and Ge- ologists believe there could still be about 200 thousand more cubic yards on the hill. Due to the constant activity on the hillside, and for the safety of all motorists, Cal- trans will construct a tem- porary detour, about 350 feet long, along State Route 299, adjacent to the existing roadway. Due to the construction of the temporary detour, the road will not open to one- way controlled traffic until the week of Jan. 8. At the same time, Caltrans will be working on removing addi- tional slide material. "We understand that having the road closed is an inconvenience, but we do appreciate the coopera- tion of the traveling public," said Caltrans Project Man- ager Matt Gowan. "Our in- terest at Caltrans is for the safe transportation of the traveling public and that's why we had to close this." Caltrans is recommend- ing motorists use State Routes 20, 36 or Interstate 5 as alternate routes. Call the Road Construc- tion hotline for the latest information at 225-3452 or follow the district on Twitter after hours @Cal- transD2.
