Announced by CALTRANS
REVISED SR 18 Closure Schedule
According to City Manager
Jeff Mathieu, "The City of Big Bear Lake did not specifically have advance
notice on the October 15th opening of State Route 18. However,
we appreciate the initiative of Caltrans to provide an additional highway
opening given the traffic delays on State Route 38 for the complex bridge
installation."
Thursday October 9th
a Caltrans advisory states that SR 18 and SR 330 will have more than usual
traffic on Wednesday, October 15,
due to the SR 38 closure. Additional traffic will be coming to the mountains
Wednesday for the Special Olympics World Games kick-off festivities to be held
at the Host Town, Lake Arrowhead.
