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 May 3.

The schedule for resupply travel for local residents and fuel vehicles will be Wednesday May 3 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 in two weeks on Wednesday May 17.

The current estimate for reopening Highway 1 at Gilbert’s Slide continues to be July 14.

  • Thank you for this information! I am coming to CA in August and plan to drive through Highway 1 (the now closed part) on August 24. Hopefully it will be all open by then :).

    • It will NOT be fully opened by August 24. Paul’s Slide isn’t anywhere near being ready to re-open.
