As of February 14, 2025, at 6:37 PM PST, Highway 330 (SR-330) in San Bernardino County, California, is closed due to flooding. Here are the details:
Reason for Closure:
The highway is closed from the junction of I-210 in Highland to Live Oak Drive near Running Springs due to flooding. Recent atmospheric river storms have brought light rain to the area, and while rainfall has been minimal, it has caused water accumulation and hazardous road conditions, necessitating the closure.Duration and Updates:
The closure was reported as ongoing by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as of early Friday morning, February 14, 2025.
Posts on X from local sources, including
@Caltrans8, indicate that the highway was initially closed on February 13 due to debris flow from the Line Fire burn scar, with an unknown duration for reopening due to weather hindering operations and the need for daylight evaluations for crew safety.
More recently, Caltrans announced that SR-330 will remain fully closed until February 24 at 5:00 PM to allow crews to clean culverts, drain basins, repair slopes, fix embankments, and establish curbs, further addressing flood-related damage and safety concerns.
Alternate Routes:
Motorists are advised to use State Route 18 (SR-18) or State Route 38 (SR-38) as detours to access areas like Big Bear Lake.Context:
This closure follows a pattern of disruptions on SR-330, which was previously closed for months due to damage from the Line Fire in September 2024, requiring extensive repairs to guardrails, pavement, and drainage systems. The current flooding has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities in the area.
