rock bolts. 15 to 40 feet into the rock face and added bolts to the sirt to try to stabilize everything. >> while the community is happy that the road is open again, they are also proud. because of the quick thinking and expertise of a road supervisor and a geologist, no one is injured or killed by the rock slide. >> i get some cold sweats from time to time, thinking about all of the things that could have gone wrong that day. if i had stopped for coffee. take an little extra time to go have lunch before coming out to the site. the timing of everything was such that once i got there, we had time to see what was going on, get everybody out of the way before the slide actually occurred. >> had she not have been there, those rocks would have come down on not just bill and myself, but everybody that was working that scene, all the tdot crews, it would have been a much, much different story. had we had been standing in that same spot.
