Just getting the equipment and supplies (e.g., fuel, roadbed, etc.) to the roads would be a major undertaking.Holy hell I should probably have a skidder handy as a backup rig in that case. And Idk if Mr Redditor has ever had to depend on DOT projects to make their life work but looking at DOT projects around the state I can't imagine a world in which they shift from tortoise to hare speed, especially with the almost certain extreme chaos that would follow such a disaster in an even moderately populated area.
From what I understand, the state & feds have plans for this, but traffic wouldn't be flowing for months, in some areas for years - especially in the coastal mountains and along the coast. Roads like the one that comes to my house would be the last to be tackled, although a dozer & grader would probably handle a lot of it on the north side - the south side of the mountain would be a mess as it is a lot steeper and has a geological history of massive slides.
