Work crews believe a lane may be opened by Sunday afternoon for residents and visitors currently trapped south of the closure. An announcement of the timing of this opening will be made on social media.
The possible Sunday afternoon lane opening is intended to facilitate evacuation of residents and guests. It is not intended for the general public to travel in and out of the slide area.
