Caltrans Highway 1 Update
Sunday, January 15
11:00 AM

State Route 1 continues to be closed from Ragged Point (SLO PM 72.87) to Lucia (MON PM 23.00) due to rock/mudslides and trees down in multiple locations.

Motorists may travel south on Hwy. 1 from Carmel to Lucia or travel north from Cambria to Ragged Point.

In addition there a full closure on Hwy. 1 at Mud Creek (MON PM 8.88) due to a mud/rock slides within the existing boundary of this closure.

Hwy 1 is open to local residents traveling south from Monterey who will be escorted through Paul’s slide (MON PM 21.6) to Gorda (PM 10) until 3 pm this afternoon, Sunday, Jan. 15. However, no escorts will take place on Monday, Jan. 16 due to the State Holiday, hence the road will just remain closed from Ragged Point to Lucia.

An update will be provided on Tuesday morning, Jan. 17.

  • Oh crap, 5-7 inches of rain could be on its way thru 3 storms ending next Monday with winds in or near 50 mph for all storms - yikes! - severe damage to infrastructure could return likely.
