HIGHWAY 1 CONVOYS THROUGH ROCKY CREEK CANCELLED

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY DUE TO FORECASTED RAIN

MONTEREY COUNTY– Due to rain in the forecast, daily convoy passage on Highway 1 will be cancelled for Thursday April 4, and Friday April 5, at the repair site south of the Rocky Creek Bridge.

Crews will be on site during all rain events to inspect for any changes in site conditions.

Convoys are expected to resume on Saturday April 6, at 8 am.  Engineers will continue to monitor the site for any significant changes and the public will be advised of any modifications to this schedule.

Note: Convoy access is limited to residents and essential workers only. The reduction of vehicles through the repair site is part of risk management efforts. These convoys are intended for essential travel only.

Engineering and construction crews continue their assessments of the slip out. In the coming days crews will place concrete barriers along 500 feet of the centerline of the roadway. Crews are focusing on strategies for stabilizing the edge of the roadway.

Updates on the status of the closure of Highway 1 at the Rocky Creek Bridge will be provided as more information becomes available.
