Caltrans will be reopening the segment of state Highway 84, known as Niles Canyon Road, to one-way traffic controls Thursday afternoon after a chunk of it collapsed earlier in the week due to wet weather.
The stretch of roadway between Old Canyon Road and Main Street in the unincorporated community of Sunol collapsed Monday after ground underneath it deteriorated, according to Caltrans.
