    That sucks. I just went through there early this morning. At this point they’re just gonna have to rebuild the whole valley, let alone the interstate

    I went through there east and westbound recently. It was raining on the way back and I was honestly a little worried. I was thinking what if they have more mudslides or it washes out again? The detour would have taken a bit longer so I just crossed my fingers.
