Look up! Look way up!

Commuters on Highway 5 have been experiencing delays in both directions since early October while rock slope stabilization takes place on Highway 5 south of Barriere between Carilla Road and Clough Road in an area known as Fishtrap Canyon. The stabilization has also involved blasting which shut down the highway for a number of hours two weeks ago. This photo was taken last Thursday showing workers high above the road as they moved into place to attach mesh along the rock face.
