FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UPDATE #11
NORTHERN LIMIT OF HIGHWAY 1 CLOSURE
MOVED NORTH TO PALO COLORADO RD
MONTEREY / SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES – The north end of the Highway 1 closure has been moved north to Palo Colorado Rd. at Post Mile 61.5 at the request of CHP.
The Highway 1 closure now spans from Ragged Point in San Luis Obispo County to Palo Colorado Rd. in Monterey County.
The gates at Paul’s Slide (PM 22), are closed and will remain closed 24-hours a day.
Travelers from the south will encounter a closure on Highway 1 at the elephant seal viewing area, four miles north of San Simeon. A significant slide, one mile south of Ragged Point, extends over both lanes of travel. As a result, the highway is impassible at this location and is expected to restrict access to Ragged Point from the south for several weeks.

Our crews deserve to get home safely too.
Drive slowly and carefully in work zones.
