Convoy Schedule – Marathon Day

UPDATE #14 (4/23/2024)
SPECIAL EARLY MORNING CONVOY SCHEDULE AT ROCKY CREEK
SUNDAY APRIL 28 FOR BIG SUR MARATHON

MONTEREY COUNTY- Weather permitting, daily convoys on Highway 1 through the Rocky Creek slip out will continue on a schedule of 7 am and 5 pm, through Saturday April 27.

The day of the Big Sur Marathon, Sunday April 28, Highway 1 will be closed between the Rocky Creek Bridge and Rio Road in Carmel from 5 am to 1 pm, to allow race participants to safely run the modified marathon course.

On Sunday morning, April 28, the start time of the morning convoy at Rocky Creek will be moved up from 7 am to 4 am. This early morning convoy will allow vehicles to pass through from 4 am to 4:45 am. All vehicles must travel north of Rio Road or south of Rocky Creek by 5 am when the race closure goes into effect.

Convoys on Highway 1 through Rocky Creek will return to their regular schedule starting Sunday April 28 at 5 pm.

Crews continue to make progress with edge stabilization efforts at the Highway 1 Rocky Creek slip out with an estimated date for completion of this work still scheduled for May 27. This would mark the end of the current convoys and allow alternating one-way travel through the area without an escort using 24/7signalized traffic control.
