STATE ROUTE 70 UPDATE: State Route 70 remains closed to through traffic between Jarbo Gap and the Greenville Wye due to multiple slides. Survey estimates suggest this slide involves about 2,300 yards of rock that need to be broken up and hauled out of the canyon. At this time, we do not have an ETA for Hwy 70 to reopen to one-way traffic control. We will continue to update as more information becomes available. #caltransdistrict3 #caltrans #highway70 #pulga | Caltrans District 3
