BACKGROUND
On November 20, 2024, a 72-hour storm event started at Napa County that eventually caused two slides on Mount Veeder. The slide at MPM 3.5 has partially damaged a lane while the slide at MPM 5.2 has completely damaged a lane. Both sites are currently able to accommodate 1-way traffic. Heavy rain that occurred in early February of this year has caused additional movement and until April there is risk of further damage at both sites. The estimated cost to repair the damage is just over $2 million at each site, however until geotechnical drilling, surveying and initial design is complete this number can vary.
