The work is expected to go on until 9 a.m. Sunday.Highway 101 has fully reopened a portion of the southbound direction from Petaluma to Novato, Caltrans said on Sunday.&E crews worked to reroute a main gas line impacted by a mudslide from last Tuesday's storm.
"We have seen erosion in other locations due to the significant amount of rainfall we have had. But this is probably the most significant event we have had during these winter storms," said Richard Yamaguchi, a senior director of PG&E gas line. Even though there hasn't been any rain the past few days, officials warn that the ground continues to move.
Officials say it's a massive undertaking in a short amount of time. Crews have to cut through the frontage road and Highway 101 so they can lay the new gas line on the median divide. And then, back across the freeway, bypassing the eroded hillside. It's a total of 2,000 feet of transmission line."We are doing it out of caution in order to make sure that we can keep these customers in service. It is not something where we actually have damage to the pipe. There is no leak.
