Bridges And Roadways Set To Reopen Soon As Crews Wrap Up Critical Landslide Repairs Around Sonoma County

HEALDSBURG, CA — Nearly seven months after deadly storms pounded Sonoma County, the first of six critical road repair projects is almost complete.

The section of Westside Road between Healdsburg and Forestville will reopen at noon on Thursday, marked by a ribbon-cutting, according to the agency responsible for coordinating the work, Sonoma County Public Infrastructure.

Destructive winter storms and landslides between November and February washed out hillsides, roads, and bridges along roadways used by residents, workers, and tourists.

In addition to the Westside Road landslide, they include:

• Wohler Road creek bank failure, south of Wohler Bridge
• West Soda Rock Lane landslide in Healdsburg
• Two separate landslides on Cavedale Road in Glen Ellen
• Giovannetti Road culvert replacement in Forestville

While not included in the original sites, members of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved work on North Fitch Mountain after storms caused successive landslides.
