Devils Slide on Highway 1 Has No Backup Generator

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

ARTICLE.  Wonder why Devils Slide was closed overnight?

There is a backup battery that is designed to last 90 minutes. But why, in an area prone to electrical outages, was no generator included in a tunnel that has lots of safety features, that require electricity to work. Without power the call boxes, fire alarms cameras and smoke sensors won’t work.

Additionally, there are 3 tunnel operators staffed at the south-east end of the tunnel 24/7/365. Again, with no power they won’t be able to see or do anything.

Call Jerry Hill’s Office at 650-212-3313 to let them know what you think.

I called their Communication office for an answer to this question…Stay tuned.
