“It isn’t just a slap of the Band-Aid,” said one official. “This is going to take some time.”
The worst of this season’s storms is behind us, but the repair work across the Bay Area — estimated to take weeks, months or even longer — is just beginning. A destructive vortex of flooding, mudslides and high winds cracked asphalt, shook bridge foundations and damaged other critical infrastructure.
A pair of mallard ducks swim near a damaged section of the Estudillo Canal on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023, in San Lorenzo, Calif. The damage is so extensive that engineers will need to examine soil samples from some roads that appear structurally sound, but may have shaky foundations, officials said. To the north in San Mateo County, the storms forced the closure of nearly all parks, and eight still remained shut on Wednesday. That includes the popular Devil’s Slide and Quarry Point. Others are partially closed, including most of the Cyrstal Springs Regional Trail, parks spokesperson Carla Schoof said.
