Work at Hwy. 1 slide in Big Sur halted after crews notice new cracks in excavation area
Briefly

"While excavating the slope with bulldozers earlier this month, crew noticed surface cracking at several points around the area being excavated, indicating additional slide activity."
"Caltrans mapped the cracking and determined the new slide would likely continue to move, so it suspended work to ensure the safety of its crews."
"Repairs have been slowed due to the height and steepness of the slope, and they are continuing to gather data to determine when the project can safely resume."
"In the meantime, a 6.8-mile segment of Highway 1 will remain closed while repairs continue, impacting access along the Big Sur Coast."
