Big Sur

Polar Star Slide

Picture of slide on #Hwy1 from this morning at Polar Star, one mile south of Ragged Point. Contractor engaged to help clear. Full closure remains in place. Assessments ongoing. Continue to ask public to please keep out of the closure area which will permit crews to work safely.

The full closure is from near Deetjen’s to Elephant Seat Vista.

  • That area has been a problem ever since that new home was built above it. Perhaps engineers should look above to see how to divert the water better. Culverts? IMHO!

  • Kate -- We are so worried about you . . . and hope you are lodging somewhere else - in a safe safe spot - during all of this!!

  • Kate, what mile marker is the Polar Star slide? Echo hopes that you are okay and that you remain safe, warm and dry.
