Several large potholes created during the latest storm on a stretch of State Route 71 in Pomona caused damage to multiple cars earlier this week. That portion of the freeway will be closed for repairs, starting this weekend.
Caltrans District 7 originally closed down all lanes on the 71 Freeway in both directions at Holt Avenue and Valley Boulevard on Tuesday after large potholes were causing traffic disruptions. Maintenance took place during the rain Wednesday, allowing Caltrans to reopen a portion of the freeway.
