Shaw Avenue from First to Sixth will be closed for at least a full day, and diverted traffic onto Cedar is causing major traffic delays around Fresno State (between Barstow & Bulldog). Gas and electrical service has been cut to the area, affecting more than 300 homes and businesses, including a portion of Fashion Fair mall, and evacuations to 30+. Traffic signals in the area are flashing reds, and must be treated as four-way stops. FAX bus Routes 9 and 18 along Shaw, and Route 38 along Cedar are affected, and detours for the Shaw routes are in effect. A FAX Supervisor reported a 13-minute commute on northbound Cedar from Bulldog to Barstow. A gas station mini-mart had to throw away thousands of dollars of perishable food. Workers from several area business were also affected, including several hundred workers from Aetna Healthcare.
