"It's been over two years since a portion of Wildcat Canyon Road was shutdown due to a landslide in the area, west of its intersection with San Pablo Dam Road. The closure cut off an access route below Tilden's Inspiration Point that was used by Berkeley Hills residents traveling to Orinda or recreational activities around the San Pablo and Briones reservoirs."
"Roughly 2.5 miles of the road have been closed between Inspiration Point and San Pablo Dam Road since the slide in March 2023. The slide took place roughly 500 feet west of San Pablo Dam Road and damaged a 24-inch drainage culvert. Surveys of the repair and improvement area were underway by July 2023, about four months post landslide. By that September, funding for the project had been secured through Caltrans. A year later, environmental studies on the area were completed."
The stretch of Wildcat Canyon Road between Inspiration Point and San Pablo Dam Road reopened after a March 2023 landslide closure. The closure affected about 2.5 miles and cut off access below Tilden's Inspiration Point used by Berkeley Hills residents heading to Orinda and nearby reservoirs. The slide occurred roughly 500 feet west of San Pablo Dam Road and damaged a 24-inch drainage culvert. Surveys were carried out, funding was secured through Caltrans, and environmental studies were completed over the following year. Crews are repairing the crumbled westbound roadway and embankment with a push to reopen the road by year end.
