2:30 pm Cal-Trans Update: Hillside remains unstable and slide still active. Will remain closed overnight and an update will be provided in the am.

I have been having reception problems, which is why I haven’t been here, and why this is late.

As of 9 am, Cal-Trans announced that Highway One is closed in both directions due to a large boulder (pick-up truck size) blocking both lanes, just south of the rock shed project.

At this time, there is no estimated time of opening, thus, Highway One at this location will remain closed until further notice.

  • I find it interesting that the last two rock fall incidents that have closed the road at rain rocks have been just south of the rock shed project. Meaning, if the rock shed had been complete, the road still would have been closed by slides. Just an observation. It's probably just a coincidence.
