From what I have seen online, Hwy 2 is closed between Wright Mountain Road and Desert Front Road so Edison can make repairs on their infrastructure...and that means a possible power outage in Wrightwood from 8am-8pm on Thursday.
I can't directly verify exactly where the closures or road blocks are, but I can say:
- Earlier today, I tried to drive down Wright Mountain Road to the 2, and they have cones blocking that the end of Wright Mountain Road so I had to turn around. I couldn't turn either direction from Wright Mountain Road onto the 2. From there, I back-tracked and left town via Lone Pine Canyon to the 138. Returned home the same way.
- Also earlier today, my wife drove from home (we are on the East side of town) to the Post Office...she didn't happen to go all the way down Sheep Creek, but took Thrush to Lone Pine to the 2. Where Lone Pine hits the 2, she said there was no indication of closures.
So, I would say that there's a pretty good chance that if you want to come up to Wrightwood in the next few days, it will be necessary to take Lone Pine from the East, or drive past Mountain High from the West. But, once you are in town, it should be fairly easy to get to any house you need to get to. If part of the 2 is closed near your place, you might just need to take the side streets or maybe park and walk a little ways.
