Caltrans is actively addressing the Regent's Slide on Highway 1, which remains closed due to a significant landslide event occurring on March 9, 2024. The agency's current efforts involve installing shear dowels—long steel bars—to reinforce the slope and mitigate further instability. The use of innovative remote-controlled equipment has improved excavation productivity and safety during the operation. Despite these efforts, new slide activity has surfaced, prompting ongoing monitoring and installation of these supportive structures to ensure long-term stability and reinforce the area's infrastructure against future landslides.
