“We're hoping to have a better idea within the next couple of weeks," Kranz said. "But there's a point at which you have to make the decision to continue to limit access until it does stabilize. With the experts that we have looking at it, that's going to inform the decisions that get made. There's no sense in rushing to shore it up and reopen it only to see it all tumble down again."
