CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – County officials said Saturday that New Long Valley Road in Spring Valley has become increasingly unstable and it is anticipated that a landslide may occur.
Lake County Public Works has plans to install a temporary bridge on New Long Valley Road starting on Monday Feb. 20.
Once the construction begins, residents will not be allowed to leave and no residents will be allowed to return, officials said.
Currently, New Long Valley Road is the only way in or out of Spring Valley. Other roads that are used to access Spring Valley are not passable because of erosion and other weather-related issues, according to the county.
The county urged residents in Spring Valley to evacuate or be prepared to be on their own until Wednesday or Thursday.
There will be a community meeting on Sunday, Feb. 19, at 9 a.m. in the Spring Valley Community Center, located at 3000 Wolf Creek Road.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide further information on this situation.
Members of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office/County Office of Emergency Services, County Administrative Office, Public Works, Northshore Fire Protection District, Social Services and the American Red Cross will be present.
