Ferry SW closure

Thanks to Will for the tip that Ferry SW was abruptly closed today. We parked by the closure sign near Ferry/California Ave (map) and walked to see what was up … and kept walking … and kept walking (awesome views, great workout going back uphill). The work is under way close to where Ferry meets California Way (map):

A contractor is drilling for some repair work above this erosion area we mentioned 2 weeks ago:

We have left messages for SDOT to ask how long the closure will continue (if it’s not over already; will check again later this afternoon). 5 PM UPDATE: SDOT says it was a one-day closure, ended around 3 pm, and the contractor does not expect to need to close the street again.

    Does anyone know what the purpose of the drilling is?

    I blame the goats.

    Sorry, Bob, the goats were nowhere to be found when we walked by. Hmm, wonder what those coyotes have been eating lately …

    Christopher, it is possible the drilling is for core soil samples and geotechnical analysis of the underlying soil conditions so as to understand the best means of proper design of the actual repair.

Sorry, comment time is over.
