KERN CANYON: Check out a behind the scenes look on State Route 178, as the 30-foot boulder in the roadway was blasted by the District 6 Blasting Team as part of the clean-up process. Crews are continuing to clear rock from the roadway and make necessary repairs in the area. The Kern Canyon is expected to be open to travel again sometime this evening. We will update once the lanes have been reopened. | Caltrans Central Valley District 6
