Road Work next week:

MONTEREY COUNTY – Here are the major scheduled road and lane closures for Monterey County from Sunday, October 6 through Saturday, October 12 – newest information is in red.Please keep in mind that construction work is weather-dependent. 

Highway 1: Bixby Creek Bridge – Hurricane Point: October 7 – October 11   
One-way traffic controls will be in place on northbound and southbound Highway 1 between Bixby Creek Bridge and Hurricane Point for shoulder work along the highway from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Highway 1: Salmon Creek – Grey Slip: October 8 – October 10  
One lane closure will occur along southbound and northbound Highway 1 between Salmon Creek and Grey Slip for paving work from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Salmon Creek to Grey Slip is a long distance, so this will be a bit of a nightmare. Bring a pee cup, water, and snacks, or head out at dawn and come home after 3:30 pm.

Arleen’s Slide

From Jasmine Horan: “Those of you that drove the south coast during the road closures or slides, likely knew Arleen. Most likely she made you laugh and smile more than once. Sad to learn she passed away of cancer, but happy we have a slide named after her to remind us to give thanks for what’s in front of us because you never know what’s around the corner. Thank you for all the warm smiles and welcome greetings.
RIP Arleen.”
