Caltrans announced Thursday that freeway transition roads in San Dimas have reopened after being closed more than a month ago because of a landslide.
The hillside near Interstate 10 and California 57 collapsed on Feb. 18, knocking over a light pole and affecting transition roads on the westbound Interstate 10 and northbound California 71 connectors to the northbound 57.
According to a Caltrans statement, the landslide deposited tons of dirt and boulders onto the road.
"Approximately 110,000 cubic yards of dirt has been removed," officials said. "To stabilize the slope, the hillside has been graded and erosion control materials have been applied. Additionally, new drainage ditches have been built."
