Heavy rain earlier this year likely triggered the collapse, and this isn’t the first time—there was a near-miss in 2013. While the closure’s been frustrating for hikers and locals heading to Grassi Lakes or Rundle trails, it’s also accelerating long-planned upgrades to the highway’s facilities and parking.
