CREWS CLEAR ROCKSLIDE NEAR SALMON CREEK AS HIGHWAY 1

REOPENS TO PRE-STORM CLOSURE PARAMETERS

MONTEREY COUNTY– Caltrans crews have cleared a rockslide on Highway 1 north of Salmon Creek which had closed the road near that location on Monday Feb. 19. Highway 1 has returned to closure limits which were in place before last weekend’s storms.

Highway 1 on the Big Sur coast is again closed from Dolan Point at Post Mile 29.7 to just south of Limekiln State Park at PM 20.

Highway 1 remains open for travel from the Monterey/Carmel area to Post Mile 29.7, some 2.7 miles south of the Esalen Institute. Highway 1 is also open from the Cambria/San Simeon area to just south of Limekiln State Park at PM 20.
