Photo contributed Water is shown still flowing through an undercut of Kasson Road and toward manmade lakes at the San Joaquin River Club Tuesday after an agricultural stormwater retention basin collapsed. The incident has forced an indefinite closure of Kasson Road.
Kasson Road – a major rural connector in the South County used by Amazon and other distribution center workers in east Tracy to avoid the 120 Bypass – is closed from the San Joaquin River Club to Durham Ferry Road. The closure was imposed Tuesday after a retention pond was compromised sending a wall of water to erode the earth beneath the roadway.
