The 57 freeway at Interstate 10, a major route used by many to reach Los Angeles, is under the threat of being under a pile of earth once again. A landslide threat that may pour more material onto the freeway, as it did on February 18, has crews working to stabilize a hillside.
A report that the newly-regraded slope was cracking and buckling convinced the California Highway Patrol to shut down lanes, and get crews out there to investigate, and resolve the danger.
As a trucker, not only does closures like this further limit the routes available, but also clogs other freeways with traffic that is normally traveling the closed freeways.
A mesh product is being applied with the hopes that the material will help stabilize the slope, but further grading work may be in the works.
