[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 837174, member: 11508"] Things like this get handled amazingly fast. I just saw that [B]Highway 50[/B] will be closed just east of Echo Summit in a few weeks so they can rebuild the deteriorating rock retaining wall (built in '39 by the WPA or the CCC). They're saying 24-hour a day construction will run between mid-April and mid-June, with a full two-week closure somewhere in there. This is the spot where you first see Lake Tahoe in the distance after climbing over the Sierras on eastbound 50. Beautiful place, but the old 18-inch high wall is in bad shape. It's been hit numerous times, for one thing. See [URL="https://www.way2tahoe.com/"]Caltrans link[/URL]. C.C. Meyers Construction has the job, and they'll get it done early, I'd bet my house. Big incentives if they do, and they always do. The detour (16 to 49 to 88) will add a LOT to the trip--distance and snarled-up tourist traffic. Don't think I'll be going to the lake for a few weeks this summer. But as to [B]this [/B]slide and repair on Hwy 1, since the alternative roads are few (and local businesses are pretty much [I]completely [/I]tourist-oriented), they'll jump on it fast for sure. (Edited to add:) Caltrans spokespeople are saying "a few days" closure. [/QUOTE]
