The city is postponing repairs to a retaining wall on the Sherman Access while it focuses on urgent repairs on the Claremont Access, which are expected to take up to eight weeks.

The west leg of the access was scheduled to be reduced to one lane from Dec. 6 to 16.

On Friday, the city said the Claremont Access would be closed for up to eight weeks while repairs are completed.

At first, city officials thought that would only take part of the day. Then a contractor removing trees discovered rocks and pieces of concrete in danger of falling. Eventually, the city stopped work in the area.
