On Sunday, January 15, a landslide caused by the recent barrage of atmospheric rivers forced an indefinite closure of Lake Wohlford Road between Valley Parkway and Oakvale Road. City of Escondido Public Works crews were dispatched to clear the road, but inspections revealed
large boulders presenting imminent fall hazards.
The risk to the public was deemed severe, and a contractor was secured with the capabilities to stabilize the hillside and safely remove the boulders. The contractor has been mobilized but needs to acquire materials to complete the task. While repairs are made, travelers of Lake Wohlford Road should use Woods Valley Road to Valley Center Road.
The City will be able to open the road once repairs are made, and inspections are passed.
