MONTEREY / SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES – The northern closure of Hwy. 1 was moved today from Lime Creek at PM 32 to the Big Creek Vista Point at PM 27.3.

Travelers on southbound Highway 1 at the Big Creek Vista Point will encounter signs indicating that the road farther south is closed except to travel by locals.

Our crews deserve to get home safely too.

Drive slowly and carefully in work zones.
