Caltrans has announced that the scenic stretch of Highway 1 from Cambria to Big Sur won't be open to travelers this year due to ongoing slide issues.
After noticing surface cracking about 450 feet above the roadway, Caltrans halted excavation work at Regent's Slide, which could delay the highway's reopening.
With continued land movement being observed, repairs at Regent's Slide have become increasingly challenging, and Caltrans lacks a timeline for the highway's complete reopening.
Mother Nature's factors and the repair capabilities of Caltrans will determine what happens next, particularly with impending wetter fall and winter weather approaching.
