The closure began on Monday, April 29, 2019. The shoulders of SR-49 at multiple locations (including the entire roadside embankment) were shifting away from the highway.
Crews rebuilt roadside slopes and shoulders, and placed erosion control measures like “geo grid” – a plastic mesh material – beneath the surface of the slopes.
This work was in addition to repairing or replacing three culverts (underground drainage systems) and rebuilding the road afterward.
