Caltrans is abandoning plans to reopen a 4.4-mile section of state Highway 39 in the Angeles National Forest between Crystal Lake and Wrightwood, citing rising costs, engineering challenges and a mandate to protect bighorn sheep.

Then they should give up ownership of it....which they wont. Its going to continue being a money pit and opportunity to cite people for walking on it.

good. pretty much all the reasons for opening up that section are B.S anyways, and everyone knew it was going to be a big PITA to keep open.

I hope this doesn't mean fewer urban burritos north of Crystal Lake!

This makes me rethink my position that caltrans has no brain, maybe they went to emerald city and saw the wizard!

 The FS won't take it back unless CalTrans restores it to it's natural state.
