Urgent: Big Sur urging ALL but residents with proof of residency to stay away from the area.

Subject: Re: URGENT RELEASE 4

The County of Monterey is asking for the cooperation of visitors and residents to avoid the Big Sur Area entirely. State Hwy 1 is CLOSED at Palo Colorado. Only residents with proof of residency will be allowed in with CHP/Caltrans Escorts. The road conditions are not safe and we need to keep traffic to a minimum for our first responders and emergency personnel.

  1. Deep “Thank you” to you for keeping us notified 🙏💖… we are grateful for you!

  2. Thank you for this information. Praying everyone stays safe…the resiliency of the residents continues to amaze me.

  3. Certainly CALTRANS knows best; they are there. Nonetheless, I hope they have verified that the NB lane is on solid stuff that wasn’t dependent upon any buttressing effect of the “slip.”
