With regard to the road conditions just after the Black Horse Inn, there is a job planned in the WSCC system, but the date is to be confirmed. This is listed as “permanent repair, side, sawn and sealed.” This translates as cutting out the affected areas of road into neat squares, filling these, and then sealing the edges. Expect another road closure for this.
