Authorities shut down a roughly 1.4-mile stretch of Highway 1 between Big Sur and Carmel-by-the-Sea due to the landslide.
Engineers are working to stabilize the edge of the roadway while convoys lead essential travelers through the closure area at specific times.
Officials advised nonessential travelers to stay away and closed access to five state parks in the area, canceling camping reservations with refunds.
The timeline for reopening the parks depends on road repairs, as about 1,600 individuals were reportedly stranded after the landslide.
