Glad to see Caltrans is fixing another rocky bank with the mesh. Less rocks to worry about when driving 299. Any work that can be done to make 299 a safer highway gets my vote. I hope all the drivers will be patient, and respect the workers.
Well at least we can plan the hour extra time in travel. I remember days when 299 was closed altogether.
Maybe i missed it but which side of junction city on 299, East or West?
The Burnt Ranch side–to the west–is my understanding.
