Pitkins Curve/Rockshed Project

HIGHWAY 1/PITKINS CURVE BRIDGE AND ROCKSHED PROJECT—NEARING COMPLETION

MONTEREY COUNTY — Highway 1 Bridge and Rockshed at Pitkins Curve (post-mile 21.5) is nearing completion, Caltrans officials announced today.

The ¼ – mile project limits extends from just north of Limekiln Creek Bridge to south of Lucia. The project includes a rockshed, a bridge, and a retaining wall.

Some of the most significant benefits of this project include:
The project will severely reduce motorists’ encounters with a falling rock and/or a land slide.
The project should greatly reduce any period of closure of the highway at this location due to a major slide.
The cost of maintaining this stretch of highway will be greatly reduced as a result of this project.
The ride will be much more pleasant than it was before (smoother ride, unique structures, more impressive view).

“We are excited to see this project approaching completion,” said District 5 Director Tim Gubbins. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in January, weather permitting.

The contractor for this $29.5 million project is Golden State Bridge Inc. of Martinez, CA.

Amgen

For those of you who missed it, Amgen has announced the route for the 2014 race, and it comes back to the coast.

The race will be May 11-18th. The Fourth leg of the race begins in Monterey, and ends in Cambria.

I’m guessing the fourth stage will be May 14th, just before I need to leave for SFO. I’m hoping, anyway.

Great news from one of my readers … With a photo to demonstrate! Thank you, Jeff!

Dear Kate,

Have an excellent weekend,

Jeff

Rocky Creek Update

First off, no overnight road closures next week. And looking at this photo Cal-Trans sent out, it is looking like we are finally approaching the end of this project. Will make a trip north next week and give a first-hand report.
