Drove through there last week. The state has 40ft containers at the bottom of the hill as barricades, plus there is a low spot below the area that is cracking.

Drove through there last week. The state has 40ft containers at the bottom of the hill as barricades, plus there is a low spot below the area that is cracking. That stated, there isn’t that much room there for all the dirt that is likely to come down and even to a lay person it looks very reasonable to assume the highway will be unavailable for some time after it finally gives way.
- unspecified 9y agoJust to be clear, those containers are only a barricade against falling rocks while the road is still open. If the ridge does let go, those barricades are going to do exactly nothing. https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2018/01/crews-monitoring-land-movement-on.html https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2018/01/crews-monitoring-land...
- poulsbohemian 9y agoCompletely agreed. But it makes it easy to spot from the highway for the looky-loos that way ;-)
