ROCKSLIDE CLEARED JUST NORTH OF MON/SLO COUNTY LINE
MONTEREY COUNTY – Highway 1 on the Big Sur coast is fully reopened.
Caltrans contractors and maintenance teams have cleared a rockslide on Highway 1 at Post Mile 0.25 in southern Monterey County.
Highway 1 is fully open to travelers who may now travel without interruption from Monterey/Carmel area to Cambria/Morro Bay along the Big Sur Coast.
Crews were able to dislodge an undermined rock outcrop the afternoon of Friday October 30. Crews took advantage of the remaining daylight hours on Friday and worked through Saturday October 30 to clear over 20 truckloads of dirt and rocks.
Well done, guys. It’s a great relief to all to be able to have options of traveling both north and south with pending rains.
Yes, well done! Ready for the next one . . .
That slab must have been pretty loose for that backhoe to move it. Glad no one got hurt.
So it’s Nacimiento Ferguson closed until 2023?
