UPDATE #39

CONVOY FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS THROUGH GILBERT’S SLIDE ON HIGHWAY 1

SET FOR WEDNESDAY APRIL 19

MONTEREY / SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES – Local residents will be able to pass through repair work at Gilbert’s Slide north of Gorda for resupply activities on Wednesday April 19.

The schedule for resupply travel for local residents and fuel vehicles will be Wednesday April 19 from 7:00 am to 7:30 am, and again later that day from 4:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

A contractor led convoy will direct travel through the Caltrans maintenance facility.

A similar resupply window through Gilbert’s Slide is also scheduled to take place on Wednesday May 3.

While crews have made progress with excavation of the repair site, the presence of subsurface water is causing delays in the ability to begin to introduce fill into the site.

The new estimate for reopening Highway 1 at Gilbert’s Slide is July 14.

Highway 1 remains open through Morro Bay, Cambria, San Simeon, and the Ragged Point Inn, with all coastal San Luis Obispo County businesses open. Highway 1 also remains open with full access to all coastal businesses for 50 miles from Monterey south to the Big Creek Vista area in Monterey County.

Road information and updates can also be found on Caltrans District 5 Social Media platforms: Twitter at: @CaltransD5, Facebook at: Caltrans Central Coast (District 5) and Instagram at: Caltrans_D5.

Our crews deserve to get home safely too.

Hi,

California’s recent floods and wet weather do not necessarily reduce the danger of wildfires later in the year. “The dangerous side to this could be — and we’ve seen this in the past — is we get all this moisture, which increases the amount of spring growth around the state, and then all that growth dries out after we no longer get more moisture and becomes just additional fuels,” Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the University of California, Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, told CNN.

Now is the time to prepare for wildfires and home fires. To help you be better prepared, Monterey’s Community Emergency Response Volunteers (CERV) is sponsoring an engaging April 25th webinar on Zoom entitled Wildfires and Home Fire Preparedness. How you prepare can make all the difference. Find out now what you can do now to keep yourself and your family safe. People who attend will become eligible to receive valuable resources that can help you get better prepared.
