Where is 330 closed

A byfoot metal net will be anchored onto a slope at mile marker In addition to the barrier, a inch pipe will be installed about 25 feet below the highway at mile marker During the closure, motorists are encouraged to use Highway 18 to the east and west. Highway 38, which runs through Mentone north into the mountains, can also be used. Only one resident lives in the closure area, Leinen said. Emergency vehicles will have access to Highway , which will also be available if residents need to be evacuated because of a fire.

While the day full closure will add to commute times, it was preferable to a partial closure, which could have stretched the project out over three to four months, Leinen said. Roma Nall, owner of Nall Advanced Chiropractic in Running Springs, said the closure will be an inconvenience for her patients who travel from other cities, and even other states. While they can still get to her business, the Highway 18 detour can add 40 minutes to the drive.

However, Nall said, the project will be beneficial in the long run, as rocks fall onto the road almost daily, especially during heavy rains and after the snow melts.
