Saratoga, HWY-9 Hillside Repair

Crews are making progress on the Highway 9 slide repair project. Horizontal drain installation on the upper hillside is nearly complete, with the final drain expected to be installed Monday, February 3rd, after which the crew will mobilize to the bottom of the slide. Re-grading of the slope continues using the Slusher equipment, and a bulldozer and spider excavator will be added next week to accelerate this process. Work is scheduled Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 5 PM, with no planned work on Sundays. While all lanes are expected to remain open, brief traffic holds of up to five minutes may be necessary on HWY-9 and the private driveway. Other ongoing work includes stormwater BMP installation, litter removal, and daily slide monitoring, especially during potential rain events.
