Just in from the Big Sur Chamber if you need to drive north of Fernwood:
To accommodate locals, tomorrow morning, January 11, at 8 AM and every two hours thereafter Caltrans is going to accommodate LOCAL traffic only through the Fernwood closure area for up to 15 minutes if conditions allow.
(please keep in mind this could change depending on the conditions after the rains tonight)
By the way, Kate’s internet is down at the moment, so I’m posting this for her.
