The area between Snow Valley Resort and Big Bear Dam is closed while a Caltrans team from Northern California inspects the mountainside.
A Caltrans avalanche crew plans to inspect a 7-mile stretch of Highway 18 in the San Bernardino Mountains on Wednesday, March 8, out of concern that the snowpack could give way above the roadway.
The team is arriving from the Caltrans district that serves Sacramento, El Dorado, Yolo and Placer counties, among others. The local district, which serves the Inland Empire, does not have an avalanche crew, Dionne said.
