We’d like to provide clarification on work stop dates for the Carmel Valley Road Resurfacing Project.

In the original information release English language version, the bullet point with work stop dates during Car Week had a typo/word omission:  

Wednesday, August 5, 2026, Monday, August 17, 2026: Monterey Car Week Event

The correct information is:

Wednesday, August 5, 2026, through Monday, August 17, 2026: Monterey Car Week Event

Construction work will be suspended and all work areas cleared during Car Week. The information release has been corrected and is attached.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TEMPORARY TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO ACTIVATE ON HIGHWAY 1

NEAR PFEIFFER CANYON BRIDGE THURSDAY, JUNE 25

MONTEREY COUNTY – A temporary traffic signal system will be activated on Highway 1 just south of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge Thursday, June 25, at 6 am.

The project location is about 1.1 miles south of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge at Post Mile 44. This signal will operate 24/7 and travelers can expect delays of up to 10 minutes, with longer impacts during busy travel during the weekends.

The temporary signal will support construction to replace the Coastlands II retaining wall. This project is essential for stabilizing the slope, improving drainage, and strengthening the long-term resiliency of the roadway.

Signals will be in place for the entirety of the project, which is estimated to be complete by March 2027, weather permitting.
