Highway 1 is closed indefinitely from Palo Colorado Road to Rocky Creek Bridge, the California Department of Transportation said on social media after a new landslide eroded part of the roadway.
A roughly 1.4-mile stretch of California's famed Highway 1 between Big Sur and Carmel-by-the-Sea closed Saturday after a portion of the southbound lane crumbled into the sea. Highway 1 is closed indefinitely from Palo Colorado Road to Rocky Creek Bridge, the California Department of Transportation said on social media.
After assessing the damage, Caltrans reopened the road from Rocky Creek Bridge to just north of Dolan Creek Bridge. Regent’s Slide is the largest of several landslides in the Big Sur area that occurred as a result of last winter’s atmospheric rivers. Roughly 300,000 cubic yards of dirt, rock and other debris will be removed from the Regent’s Slide site during repair work, Caltrans said.
