Caltrans closes portion of Highway 1 'until further notice' after rockslides
"BIG SUR, Calif. - Caltrans reports a portion of Highway 1 is fully closed until further notice due to rockslides. The rockslides are impacting the roadway between Ragged Point Inn in San Luis Obispo County and a point 1 mile south of Deetjen's Big Sur Inn in Monterey County. There is no estimated time for reopening."
"The closure is due to rockslides and debris in the roadway at multiple locations. Crews will reassess the damage at daylight. Highway 1 was fully reopened and reconnected Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties a little over a month ago after three years of multiple closures due to slides at various locations on the road."
