CalTrans & police did a HORRID job on letting the public know there would be an hours-long closure until you were within sight of the closure itself. No one posted signs until after 6pm and it was too little too late. Who are the braindead officials responsible for letting the traveli8ng public know how INCOMPETENT they are? Letter going to all concerned.
