ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST (KABC) -- The recent bad weather has taken a
toll on Angeles Crest Highway, with roughly 40 locations identified for
repair along State Route 2 in the Angeles National Forest. 

Multiple sections of the highway have been damaged and washed out, with
heavy rain leading to landslides, rockfalls and slope erosion. 

Caltrans is conducting three emergency repair projects to address the
damage, totaling $16.8 million. 

The highway will remain closed indefinitely as conditions vary along the
corridor, and crews continue to evaluate and repair damage. The closure
affects nearly 30 miles of SR-2, covering the section from 3.3 miles
east of Newcomb's Ranch to Big Pines Highway. 

Planned repair work includes installing k-rail around washed-out areas,
installing temporary traffic signals, repairing eroded slopes and
embankments, reconstructing shoulders and more.
