What Kathleen Lee’s message below does not make clear is that these closures are intermittent, not every Sunday-Thursday, but approximately 10 of them through the winter, and another round with fewer closures, scheduled for Spring. All closures will be preceded with adequate notice to all.
“The work to build the Rocky Creek Viaduct has started. Hard closures of the highway, where no vehicle traffic through the construction site will be allowed, will begin at the start of October. In order to place the equipment and do the drilling work, the contractor will be allowed to close the highway for 10 hour blocks during the evening hours, Sunday through Thursday nights. These hard closures are anticipated to take place October through the end of January.
Caltrans has designed the project to have the smallest possible impact on the highway, and is working diligently with the contractor to ensure that these hard closures and the intermittent daylight closures occur during times when the work will have the least impact on the residents, businesses and travelling public.
Currently, the hard closures are scheduled from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am, Sunday through Thursday nights. After hearing from the community various concerns about these scheduled times, Caltrans would like your input as to the best hours for the hard closures.
Please respond to this survey as to what your preferred hours of closure are. Based upon all results, a decision on the hours of closure will be announced soon. For those hours that are later in the morning, these will only be an option if Caltrans and Carmel Unified School District can make arrangements so that the students can get to school on time.
Share this survey with your neighbors, employees and people who regularly travel the coast so that we have the broadest possible outreach into the Big Sur community for this important decision. Due to the short timing, please respond by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, September 18th. Please only respond once. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the clarification on the frequency of the closures. That makes a big difference, especially to those that work on one side and live on the other side of the slide.
I’m not sure Kathleen Lee got it right either. I was at the meeting & heard that Caltrans want to drill the holes for the bridge supports ASAP. They want to finish one hole & go directly to the next. I was left with the opinion there would be several weeks of Sun-Thurs closures. Then the closures would be intermittent.
I was not at yesterday’s, Sept.14th’s meeting, but I was at the August 31st meeting, and have a copy of the proposed closures. There are approximately 10 listed over a period of several months. So, if it changed, I will find out. I know Kirk Gafill was at both meetings, and is expected to send out a clarification sometime today, Saturday, the 15th. I will note and corrections, if necessary, at that time.
