***NEW INFORMATION, BEGINNING TOMORROW MORNING, TUESDAY, JAN. 31***

DURING DAYTIME HOURS ONLY: Motorists may travel north on Hwy. 1 from Cambria to Limekiln Creek Bridge (PM 21.3) or south on Hwy. 1 from Carmel to Dolan Pt. (PM 29.70). *

*We have a failed culvert just north of Sand Dollar Beach at PM 14.4, requiring Caltrans to have daytime one-way traffic control and flagging at two locations: 1) at Mud Creek (PM 8.8) and 2) just north of Sand Dollar Beach (PM 14.4).

OVERNIGHT CLOSURES: Hwy. 1 will remain closed overnight from Ragged Point (SLO 72.87) to Dolan Pt. (MON. 29.70)

The roadway is not passable between Paul’s Slide (PM 21.6) and Big Creek (PM 28.09).

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our Maintenance and Geotech crews have been working diligently, clearing, cleaning, and scaling as much as safely possible in response to these rock/mudslides.

Another update will be provided tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday, Jan. 31, or sooner if conditions change.
