MONTEREY COUNTY – In preparation for the winter storm season, crews with heavy trucks will be hauling stored material along Highway 1 from Fullers Stockpile, just north of Torre Canyon Bridge, to the Willow Springs Maintenance Yard, just north of Gorda starting Monday, October 21.

Roadwork hours are Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm. Motorists can expect a delay not to exceed 10 minutes. Work is expected to be completed by mid-November, weather permitting.

Heavy truck traffic and crossing can be expected, especially around Fullers Stockpile, Vicente Creek and the Willow Creek Stockpile. Road work signs will be posted at all locations alerting motorists of extra truck traffic. Some of the material will be used for shoulder improvements in the Willow Springs area, and the rest of the material will be hauled off to the Willow Creek Stockpile area.

The contractor for this $208,000 project is Whitaker Construction of Paso Robles.

  • I can't believe something in California can get fixed/altered/improved for 200,000 bucks! So unless it's really just one guy and a wheelbarrow filled with gravel who's overcharging, Wahoo!! Somebody read a contract before they signed it and somebody's got an eye on tax dollars spent. Can this be a new normal?
    Oh, all that aside, thanks for the good road update info, Kate. Always timely and always appreciated.
