Road to Big Bear CLOSED

[johnnyc]

Just read in the paper that highway 330 through Running Springs will be closed for road repairs through MID-JUNE.

Alternate routes are highway 38 from Redlands and highway 18 from the Lucerne Valley.

Holy heck! Luckily, I live off of the 38, but for those who don't, wheeeew. Ugh.

 

[crazyjim]

Yea, I probably should have mentioned that in the john's bowl thread. :laugh:

 

[cal]

wow, lousy.

 

[91blackbox]

no joke... like skwerly good thing i live off 38

 

[HeepSpeed]

yup - I come via the 10 and redlands from out west...good to know though!

 

[johnnyc]

I always take the 38 through Mentone too. Much nicer drive. But I know the 330 is the way a lot of people go. And with it closed, you gotta figure that most of the traffic will be on the 38.

Yea, I probably should have mentioned that in the john's bowl thread. :laugh:

So if I'll be coming up the 215 from San Diego, pulling a small trailer behind my Jeep (stock tires & gears), am I better off taking the longer route East on 10 past Redlands and then up, or going up the 18 off the 210 & across past Arrowhead?

Carol go up Highway 38 (Redlands)

 

[scottmcneal]

18 has tight turns..steep hill climb.. Hell my locker was not happy with me going up saturday..38 would be a nice drive going up..

 

[Jump This]

The traffic on 38 wasn't as bad as you would have thought.
More than normal though......and still a much nicer drive than the 18.

 

[Carol.92124]

Cool, good to know. I'll go that way, then. I'm kinda thinking I'll take Thurs off, or at least take off work early, as I reserved for Thur - Sat. nights

So just to chime in, taking the 38 up isn't that far out of the way....I was just up a couple weeks ago for snowboarding. Even if you head to the 330, they just detour you down 30th street back to the 38. So no concerns about people getting screwed for not knowing....although I'm not sure why the detour people down 30th and not just keep them on the 210 to Waterman...but that's the states logic for ya. =)

i'll be taking 38 seeing that i'm like a mile off of it
