August 31, 2016: Update: Highway 68 Reopens

(08:00) Pacific Grove –  A tree fell down across power lines yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon and sparked a grass fire on the eastbound side of Highway 68, near Pacific Grove.  Power was out along the Holman Highway for about 6-thousand P.G. & E. customers.  Most of the customers had their power restored by 5 p.m. yesterday.  Highway 68 was closed to through traffic (between Presidio and Skyline Forest) so that P.G. & E. workers could restore power to the final 500 customers.  California Highway Patrol reported this morning that Highway 68 has been reopened.
