"Beginning Sunday at 10 p.m., the highway will be closed to through traffic in both directions at the Rocky Creek Bridge, about 12 miles south of Carmel, and will completely reopen Monday at 6 a.m. "The final phase of the seawall project entails dismantling the scaffolding and using a crane to lift that material and one mini-excavator back up to the roadway," said Caltrans District 5 spokesperson Celeste Morales. "The project is currently in its demobilization stage.""
"Caltrans conducted emergency repairs to Highway 1 near the Rocky Creek Bridge - post mile 60 - where a slip out occurred on March 20, 2024. The repairs included the construction of viaducts under both lanes of the roadway and reconstruction of the seawall below. The Rocky Creek slip out resulted in a loss of a section of the southbound lane, which crashed onto the seawall below and disrupted the flow of traffic to Big Sur for a time."
An overnight full closure of Highway 1 at the Rocky Creek Bridge will begin Sunday at 10 p.m. and end Monday at 6 a.m. to complete final demobilization of the Rocky Creek Seawall Project. Crews will dismantle scaffolding and use a crane to lift materials and a mini-excavator back to the roadway, with heavy equipment staged across both lanes and no through traffic permitted during work hours. Travelers are advised to plan ahead and avoid the area. Emergency repairs after the March 20 slip out included viaduct construction, seawall reconstruction, and installation of 45 vertical and 75 horizontal rock anchors, and the project remains on schedule to finish Monday.
