Document Description
On June 4th, Kelbaker Road was severely impacted by monsoon-level rainfall, resulting in debris deposition that overtopped and undercut the road, causing
dangerous washouts and extensive shoulder erosion. These conditions threaten the road 's stability and pose a serious hazard to motorists. The emergency work includes, but is not limited to, removing deposited sediment from the roadway and
adjacent roadway areas, temporarily stockpiling the material using it to fill erosions. Damaged road surfaces and shoulders will be repaired to restore safe travel conditions and help protect the roadway infrastructure from further damage.
