Topline:
More than 20 miles of the Angeles Crest Highway reopened this week after it was damaged by excessive rainfall earlier this year.
Roads opened: The portion of the highway opened was from Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road to Islip Saddle.
Roads still closed: Some repairs are still ongoing. The highway is closed from Mt. Wilson Red Box Road to Upper Big Tujunga Canyon and from Islip Saddle to Vincent Gulch.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
