During our recent rains a portion of Hwy 74 to Mountain Center and Idyllwild was washed out.
Currently the road between Valle Vista and Mountain Center is closed in both directions until further notice.
Caltrans has stated that a $1 million repair contract has been awarded to Skanska. Skanska indicates that if they clean out and reuse an existing concrete box under the road the repair will take 4-5 days. If, however, the box cannot be reused the repairs will take one to two weeks.
If you are heading up to Lake Hemet, Idyllwild or Anza plan to take an alternate route either through Banning, Sage, Palm Springs or Temecula.
The easiest routes up the hill from Hemet are through Banning or Sage.
