Last month, CalTrans estimated it would cost $16.5 million to repair the 2 & 5 Freeway Interchange damaged in the overturned tanker fire on July 13, 2013. Friday, Governor Brown declared a belated state of emergency to obtain federal funds for the repairs.
Of course, CalTrans is spending $11.5 million to screw up the end of the 2 Freeway & build sound walls that no one seems to want on Allesandro St, between Rosebud & Oak Glen. Maybe they should take that money & spend it to fix the 2 & 5 Interchange.
