dunefreak Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 SR-127 Emergency Project from Tecopa to Baker September 29, 2023 SAN BERNARDINO, CA – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues $9M emergency work on State Route 127 (SR-127) to repair roadbed, pavement, backfill shoulders, armor erosion embankments, repair drainage, remove debris and address other structural damage sustained by recent monsoon storms. Contractor crews are in the area clearing debris, performing roadbed repair, drainage repair and various other recovery efforts. At this time, the route remains fully closed in both directions due to severe undermined roadways and to allow for environmental mitigation operations to continue. Crews are currently in the area repairing the roadway and working to expedite a reopening of the north-side only of the route, from County Line to Dumont Dunes by mid October 2023. Weather and material dependent. The timeframe of a full route reopening remains to be determined. Emergency repair work is expected to continue through spring 2024.

Dune Cruzer Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Correct me if I'm wrong, but for those of coming from Vegas or through the Tecopa route, all is well. It's coming from the Baker side that's jacked. Anyone hear different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we've been told from Caltrans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
