"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."
Caltrans will fully close Highway 1 at the Rocky Creek Bridge from Sunday 10 p.m. to Monday 6 a.m. to dismantle scaffolding and lift materials and one mini-excavator back to the roadway using a crane. The work completes the demobilization phase of the Rocky Creek Seawall Project and includes finishing work at the site. Heavy equipment will be staged across both lanes and no through traffic will be permitted during work hours; travelers are advised to plan ahead and avoid the area. The project followed emergency repairs after a March 20, 2024 slip out that destroyed part of the southbound lane. Temporary stabilization was completed in 51 days and included installation of 45 vertical and 75 horizontal rock anchors, plus viaduct construction and seawall reconstruction.
