Is there a non-furloughed Caltrans crew out there, anywhere?
Wow, those state employee furloughs are really taking their toll, just take a look at this California Highway Patrol log detailing an accident from earlier today:
1:53PM 82-S6 REQ SIGALERT FOR UNK DURATION - #4 LN AND FLORENCE OFR CLOSED DUE TO FUEL SPILL AND TRYING TO LOCATE A NON-FURLOUGHED CALTRANS CREW
Earlier logs show CHP attempting to get LA County fire hazmat crews to clean it up, but it was beyond their capacity:
1:49PM 82-72 - ADVS 82-S6 THAT LACOFD ADVSING THE SCOPE OF THE SPILL IS BEYOND LACOFD ABILITY TO HANDLE - WILL NEED CALTRANS - 82-S6 COPIES
1:41PM THIS CREW IS ON FURLOUGH WILL FIRE BE ABLE TO HANDLE?
1:38PM 82-72 ADVSING LACOFD ADVSING THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUT IN #4 LN - OIL HAS HIT THE STORM DRAIN - LACOFD IS RESPONDING THEIR HAZMAT TEAM
1:34PM 82-72 ADVSING SPILL IN #4 LN FM S/O CLARA TO FLORENCE - WILL BEEN TO BE CONED OFF FOR CLEAN UP
1:30PM 82-72 ADVSING LACOFD IS 1097
1:26PM 82-72 WILL BE BLKING #4 LN - 1023ING FOR CALTRANS
1:23PM PER 82-72 APX 15 GALLONS OF FUEL IN #4 LN - REQ ETA OF CALTRANS CREW W/ SAND



Just put a bunch of guys in orange vests and have them lean on shovels...no one will ever know it is not the Cal Trans crew.
ya those freeways just take care of themselves. And you people just keep them so clean for us. People are so ignorant. You should try doing what the caltrans guys do for a while it no joke. Co!k sucker!
Well of course the freeways don't just take care of themselves.......but apparently, Cal Trans doesn't do a very good job of taking care of them either.
