Maura Valencia, owner of the Big Sur Restaurant in San Simeon, stated, 'San Simeon is really, really down. With the highway closed, we've seen a significant drop in visitors. It's hard to keep the business afloat with no foot traffic or tourists. We hope Caltrans can fix the road soon so we can welcome back our regulars and new visitors alike.'
A statement from Caltrans emphasized the challenges, noting that 'due to continued cracking occurring at the repair site, a portion of previously damaged roadway located on Highway 1 at Regent's Slide will not reopen in 2024.' This leaves local businesses in limbo, awaiting updates that impact their livelihood.
