Slide


I'm sure most of you have heard about this already, since you actually live in Fresno, but apparently part of 168 on the way up to Shaver slid out. My mom was telling me about it. You can see the four lane from their house as it climbs up the mountain, and she said they could see traffic backed up because they had closed down a couple lanes. Pretty crazy. Was it from rain or snow melt?

Pretty sure it was the rain. They had a "slope failure."

adam's right. rain. they were pretty concerned, because the one lane slid out, and they weren't sure if more would follow. fortunately, they found it to be stable, fixed up the problem, and traffic flow was restored to capacity.
