1/22/2010: FULL CLOSURE ON HWY. 1 NORTH OF RAGGED POINT BEGINS SUNDAY

January 22, 2010 by tarawings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
#UPDATE#
FULL CLOSURE ON HWY. 1 NORTH OF RAGGED POINT BEGINS SUNDAY

MONTEREY COUNTY – Hwy. 1 will be fully closed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week beginning Sunday, Jan, 24 @ 5 pm for 2-3 weeks due to roadway erosion.  This closure will be in effect nine miles north of Ragged Point Inn or three miles south of Gorda, which is seven miles north of the San Luis Obispo County line.
 
This closure is necessary to bring in a large crane after a section of fill was washed out by the surf due to recent heavy rains.
 
Hwy. 1 will re-open upon completion of this $2 million emergency repair, which will be performed by Windsor/Specialty Contractors.
 
If travelling from San Luis County to Monterey County, motorists are advised to take Hwy. 101 to Hwy. 68 as the suggested detour.  Electronic message signs are posted to alert motorists of this closure.
 
Businesses remain open and Big Sur will be accessible from the north.
 
The temporary signal south of Lucia for the bridge/rockshed project remains in operation.
 
Caltrans reminds motorists that “we’re here to get you there.”
