FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROCKY CREEK CONVOYS RESCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY APRIL 14
TO 12 NOON AND 5 PM DUE TO LINGERING RAIN
MONTEREY COUNTY– Daily convoys through the Rocky Creek slip out on Highway 1, regularly scheduled at 7 am and 5 pm, have been rescheduled for Sunday April 14, to 12 noon and 5 pm. This change in schedule is due to lingering wet weather forecasted to remain in the area Sunday morning.
It is anticipated that convoys at Rocky Creek will return on Monday April 14 to the regular schedule of 7 am and 5 pm. Crews on site at the Rocky Creek slip out have reported that the site has remained in good condition throughout this weekend’s rain event.
The current convoys are intended for the use of local residents and essential workers only. Limiting the volume of vehicles through the repair site is one strategy which is helping manage the risks associated with conditions at the rockslide and with emergency response.
