TRAFFIC UPDATE: Highland Park Way open again after day-and-a-half closure

(SDOT video: Finishing the cleanup)
Almost 33 hours after a slide that took out trees and power lines, the Highland Park Way hill has fully reopened, according to SDOT. The power was restored by late last night but the slide cleanup took a day longer.

Thank you, SDOT, Parks, and SCL. I was wondering how my Monday commute would be so this is great news!

Thank you to the SDOT, Parks and SCL teams working together to reopen this key corridor. Landslides are challenging even in ‘normal’ circumstances. The emergency teamwork is very appreciated.
