PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT CONTINUES ON STATE ROUTE 1
FROM BIG SUR TO CARMEL
MONTEREY COUNTY – A Caltrans pavement rehabilitation construction project along State Route 1 from the Torre Canyon Bridge in Big Sur to just south of Carpenter Street in Carmel will continue in the Big Sur area. Overnight paving work, with accompanying trucks, noise, and vibration, will continue from Sunday, October 4, through Friday, October 9.
Overnight paving work this week is currently scheduled to take place from Carmel Valley Road to Carpenter Street. Motorists can expect delays of 10-15 minutes.
Overnight roadwork hours will be Sunday from 9 pm to 6 am, and Monday through Thursday from 7 pm to 6 am. Please note that these are the anticipated dates and areas of roadwork which are subject to change by various conditions.
Daytime shoulder work and guardrail installation will also take place at intermittent locations throughout next week.
Starting the week of October 12, daytime work is expected to begin on paving side roads, driveways, and pullouts, so that they conform to a uniform height with the newly paved roadway.
Electronic message signs will be activated to inform the public about this roadwork. This roadwork is necessary for the safety of travelers and to protect adjacent properties. The contractor for this $24 million project is Granite Rock Company of San Jose, CA. It is scheduled to be completed by next summer.

I’ve taken two trips this week to view what has happened with the landscape. The first was out to McKern and on, which is about a mile from my place, and also out to Prewitt…this area is the only red line on the southern end in Division Whiskey. I wanted to see how it was doing. I chose a few photos from that trip for a Photo Sunday this coming. It looked good from a fire perimeter perspective, and like the moonscape I have come to expect after fires.
Today, I took a drive up the coast to see if I could tell what the impact could be on the road this winter. I took my “highway man” — Rock Knocker — with me. He actually took me, as he drives and I photographed. I will post the photos below, but we both came away thinking this could be a really rough winter. There are a number of places between JP Burns and Pacific Valley where all hell could break loose. Many places in those areas could become islands and cut off from town/supplies/medical. I say this not to be the proverbial “Debbie Downer” but so that those of you who live between those two points and plan to stay for the winter can stock up accordingly. But then you all know that.
Smoky Sand DollarBetween PV School & PV Station — this will probably not be a problem for the roadPaul’s Slide — the top of this is all burnt, so this could easily give way this winter.
I easily have a couple dozen more, but you get the idea. Winter will not be kind to our road.
