Highway 1: Bixby Creek Bridge – Hurricane Point: October 7 – October 11
One-way traffic controls will be in place on northbound and southbound Highway 1 between Bixby Creek Bridge and Hurricane Point for shoulder work along the highway from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

One lane closure will occur along southbound and northbound Highway 1 between Salmon Creek and Grey Slip for paving work from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
