Kingsbury Grade fixed and open

Kingsbury Grade is open.

In December, a sinkhole formed where a drainage pipe crosses underneath the road at mile marker 4.3, approximately 10 miles up from Foothill Road. The road was temporarily repaired and reopened before recent flooding caused more extensive erosion to the road.

Q&D Construction worked 14-hour days between storms. They excavated approximately 150 feet across and 50 feet below the road surface to completely remove and replace the eroded drainage pipe, and then rebuilt and repaved the roadway.

As weather warms up and dries out in future months, additional drainage improvements may be needed along the same section of road.
