HWY 76 OPEN TO RESIDENTS ONLY

The storm has passed. Due to ice conditions and the potential for more ice-laden trees falling on the roadway, CHP has closed Highway 76 from Valley Center Road to Lake Henshaw for the duration of the night. However, all residents from the La Jolla Reservation, the closed Highway 76 corridor, and Palomar Mountain, with ID and chains, will be allowed access from either direction. They will be advised to drive slowly, especially in light of the potential of trees falling unexpectedly. So long as the wind does not increase again (affecting the trees), this limited closure should not change to a complete closure (that would even exclude residents).
