Plus, a reader has a suggestion for shorter drivers who have trouble seeing while backing up
Q: I was traveling with a friend recently from Gilroy to Santa Nella and we passed the full San Luis Reservoir on the trip. What a sight! There is a lot of construction going on near the face of the dam along Pacheco Pass. It must be a tremendous project, as there were trucks full of materials and a series of gravel, rock and dirt yards full of raw materials to be moved somewhere else, as well as trucks driving across the top of the dam.
Construction crews have started to dig a new outlet tunnel at Anderson Dam near Morgan Hill. The tunnel will be 24 feet high and 1,700 feet long and will allow the reservoir east of Highway 101 to be drained more quickly because of an earthquake, major storm or other significant incident. The tunnel will be finished late in 2024, and a 13-foot-high pipe will be installed inside. Then the work will shift to tearing down the 240-foot earthen dam and replacing it with a new dam and concrete spillway that’s capable of withstanding a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
