HIGHWAY 1 CARMEL TO CAMBRIA ROADWAY UPDATE
HIGHWAY 1 REMAINS FULLY CLOSED 25 MILES SOUTH OF BIG SUR
MONTEREY COUNTY:
Highway 1 (Post Mile 22) about 25 miles south of Big Sur remains closed in both directions due to a large rock slide near Limekiln Creek. Caltrans crews remain on site to re-construct the damaged protective nets and clear debris from the roadway. Weather conditions are favorable so crews will work daylight hours through the weekend to expedite clean up and repair.
Currently, there is no estimated time of opening but an update will be provided after a few more days of slide removal/repair progress.
All Big Sur and coastal businesses remain OPEN with detours available for motorists.
