Slide again closes Hwy. 199 for hours

Another rock slide closed U.S. Highway 199 near Patrick Creek for most of Thursday, the third time in three months the roadway has been completely blocked to traffic in that area.

Caltrans maintenance crews worked on Hwy. 199 until about 5 p.m. Thursday, when it was reopened. They cleared 2,000-3,000 tons of debris — the equivalent of 200-300 dump truck loads. Officials with the state agency said the recent spat of rock slides is due to the geology of the area and winter weather conditions.
