Highway 1. The north bay scenic coastal drive ruined by rain and crews are scrambling to keep up with the damage. The problem stretched from the panoramic highway in muir beach to jenner. Kpix 5s emily turner is live in mill valley with the major repair job needed along the coast. Reporter that repair work is exactly why all of these barricades are right here. For a scenic highway this portion wont be seen by drivers anytime soon. Its californias coastal highway thats slowly crumbling towards the sea. Its always been doing this. Every time theres weather, highway 1 takes a vacation. Reporter there have been plenty of big weather. The winters inundation of rain has undermined the earth under the road. There have been slides. One shut the highway down before Stinson Beach and slumping here has half the road falling down the hill side. We flew sky 5 drone between panoramic and muir beach. Its closed and wont reopen until april. Even with caltrans fast tracking the repairs it, will be a major lengthy job. I wouldnt call that stream but its pretty, um, intense. Especially with the slope coming down like this. Reporter the southbound side of highway 1 is closed for obvious reasons near jenner. Emergency crews have had to fly the chopper because they cant get out there. Caltrans will close the whole road on monday and tuesday of next week because it needs to shore up the northbound lanes before more rain ruins those, too. Its a huge problem because the alternative routes are on very winding back roads. Theres possibly landslides back there that nobody knows about. Theres no cell coverage. So if you get stuck back there, youre stuck. Reporter drivers all along the coast have had to take detours to get inland and all the repairs have crews scrambling from one site to another staying on their toes so those on four wheels will be able to get by. Its very steep and the slopes are very slopey and, um, mud wants to go downhill and its going to continue to do that. We dont have any charge of that. It just goes a little downhill and we fix it again. Reporter caltrans is currently coming up with a detour for the jenner situation. The detour for this one is panoramic highway which we took this afternoon and let me tell you, there were several piles that were shoulder high on me of mud and clay that had to obviously have been pushed off the road from where they had fallen before. And driving by it, its clear there will be more falling down. So if you are on the roads and heading to the coast or from the coast, please, be careful.

Keep an eye on the house in san rafael right there. Cameras were rolling this week when a mudslide finished off the house on Mountain View avenue. Sky drone 5 flew over the mudslide mess today for a view. No other camera can get to it. Debris scattered everywhere. Hard to make out what was in the house but you can see insulation, broken boards and a tree laying on top of the home. The two homes on either side of the crushed house have been red tagged and now its other neighbors who are worried. Public works Officials Say the slide is unstable to do anything to it right now. We flew up the hillside. Sky drone 5 was able to see a waterfall carrying runoff from those storms. Highway 37 in novato closed again tonight. Sky drone 5 shows dry spots as it begins to hover over the water covered roads. Chp says this is the worst flooding they have seen since this all started back in early january.

All lanes have been closed once again at summit road southbound and Granite Creek road northbound. Kpix 5s jackie ward on why crews say they cant continue clearing the debris. Jackie. Reporter this part of highway 17 is obviously empty. You maze the occasional car sneak through because chp is allowing local traffic to get by. But less than a mile from here, traffic is at a standstill. And chp is diverting it at summit road. To say this week has been rough on chp, caltrans and drivers who rely on highway 17 is an understatement. [ inaudible ] reporter with yet another landslide, frustration is high. Its a beater. I mean, i have never seen it like this ever. I mean, this is the worst i have ever seen i have seen a lot of highway 17 action, but this is definitely the worst i have ever seen it. Im a kindergarten teacher. Im trying to get back home. [ laughter ] reporter trying. I left this morning at 5 30 from aptos. Made it to, um, work 10 minutes before 8 00. Reporter sadness is also running high here as the road crews mourn the loss of one of their own. 53yearold bobby gill, a construction worker for graniterock, died yesterday when he was hit by a truck as it attempted to clear the massive slide. That mess is only bigger tonight because of this oreland slide thats still moving forcing drivers to spend hours in their cars without making much progress. I was in los gatos and i just out of habit wound up on 17. Im on my way to pacific road. Hope to get there by tomorrow. Reporter we just learned that chp determined they will be able to open one lane of southbound traffic to allow two way traffic. That will be happening within the hour.

He says because of the push to make more electric cars, they do excessive mandatory overtime, clocking in 60 to 70 hours a week. He says preventable injuries happen a lot.

But a new plan approved by bart directors has a tradeoff it will be even harder to find a bart riders may soon find it easier to squeeze on a crowded train during rush hour but a new plan approved by bart directors has a tradeoff. Its going to be harder to find a seat. Kpix 5s Susie Steimle explains. Reporter when it comes to commuting on bart, apparently theres only one way to describe it. There are definitely times either mornings or evenings where youre packed in like sardinas. A bunch of packed sardinas. Reporter bart decided a temporary st. Louis to crowded trains was necessary before the new fleet of train cars are released this year. Bart will remove seven seats from 380 cars totaling 2660 seats systemwide. No way. Reporter that was kevin drones response to this concept. Most people who dislike the plan have long commutes like his. Im going to el cerrito and then to vallejo. We think we would be able to serve 10000 extra riders during the commute period from the removal of the seats. Reporter she says not everyone likes the plan but something had to be done. What were seeing are [ indiscernible ] you have been in line, waited for the train and you cant get in. Reporter we know bart surveyed its riders before deciding to go ahead with this plan and the majority of them approved. 20 cars have already had those seats removed and the rest will roll out in the coming weeks.

Bart directors have also approved funding for more bicycle parking at stations. 20 new electronic lockers are going to hold a total of 80 bikes on top of the 1400 lockers that already exist. They fill up quick on weekdays. Officials think they can avoid plan b. The damage is at the lake or slowville spillway which dumps water into the Feather River to prevent flooding. Earlier this week concrete broke off the spillway creating a 200footlong 30footdeep hole and that hole continues to grow. But storm runoff started to decline late yesterday and operators boosted the water release so now its less likely the lake will rise to the point where water flows into the emergency spillway. That emergency spillway has never been used in oroville dams 48 years. Its right next to the damaged one but opens on the rugged hillside so officials want to avoid using it if possible. There is no flood threat to communities downstream. Don ford shows us the work involved to get the emergency spillway ready just in case. Reporter next to the giant broken spillway the race is on. We are clearing brush below it see this if we had to use it it wouldnt be washed into the diversion pool and plug updates down below. Reporter never in history has the emergency spillway been used. Trees and bushes have grown here for 50 years. All of it must go or risk being washed downstream if the emergency spillway is needed. Then this. How is that looking today . Today with the latest forecast it looks like well not reach the emergency spillway elevation and we wont have to use it. Reporter the work removing and prepping the hillside is not stopping. We are planning as a contingency plan in case we run into trouble with our controlled spillway gate and have to shut those down. Reporter pg e is rushing to remove a major power line thats directly below the potential path of the water. Helicopters rushing across the valley are lifting tower sections as fast as the ground crews can take them apart. Were certainly working with helicopters and bad weather so we are taking as many precautions as we can. Reporter engineers point out that every dam in california over 25 feet tall must have an emergency spillway. Even though the emergency spillway now is not expected to top over this weekend, work to clear that ridge will continue as quickly as possible because as one dam official told me earlier, winter is not over. Near the oroville dam, don ford, kpix 5. South bay water officials trying to lower a reservoir level quickly to reduce pressure on a shaky dam there. The Anderson Reservoir is in morgan hill a couple of miles east of highway 101. It is now at 91 capacity. Of course normally that would be great but the reservoir is under a state order not to exceed 68 capacity after a 2009 study found the aging dam could fail if a strong earthquake hits morgan hill. The Water District is already releasing water at the base of the dam but thats not enough. Its understood by the dam regulators that there are times like this when theres so much water coming in that you cant keep it to that level. So we just have to get it out as fast as we can by opening the outlet which are weve done. More coming in than going out. The Water District expects the reservoir to top out next week and water will pour out of the main spillway for the First Time Since 1996. Then it could take as long as nine weeks for the reservoir to get down to that safe level. And a retrofit on the dam still years away. Its ironic to be in this position after a drought. I have seen a couple of tweets saying why dont we release more water . People live along the river down street. If you release it all at once its bad for those downstream. So a problem we didnt think we would have some weeks ago. We knew we were ending the drought but little did we know in late january it would be over. Take a peek on the radar now because we are not completely dry. Some showers through Sonoma County, marin county right now. One just about to cross the golden gate.
