Cal-Trans Project Update

HIGHWAY 1 CARMEL TO CAMBRIA PROJECT UPDATE

MONTEREY COUNTY:
•Traffic continues down to one lane just south of Lucia at Dani Creek (PM 22.6-22.8) with a temporary signal in place for retaining wall installation. Work hours are from 7 am to 5 pm daily with work expected to be completed this September. Cyclists traveling southbound are required to press the signal button to activate a longer period to safely get through the narrow one-way uphill section. Work is expected to be completed by mid-October.

•The temporary signal about two miles south of Lucia at Pitkins Curve/Rain Rocks (PM 21.3-21.6) for the bridge/rockshed project remains in operation 24/7 with the project expected to be completed in spring of 2013.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY: There are no projects currently under construction along Hwy. 1 in San Luis Obispo County near the Monterey County Line.

Here are a couple Cal-Trans photos of both projects. I have some I promised to post, but they will be out-of-date by the time I get them up!

Pitkins Curve is on the left – you can see the bridge coming together. Dani Creek (just south of Lucia) is on the right.
