The Big Sur portion of Highway 1 has been closed since a massive slide occurred on May 20, 2023. The slide dumped an estimated 1 million cubic yards of debris onto the roadway, blocking both lanes.
Caltrans crews have been working around the clock to clear the debris and repair the roadway. The repairs have been completed in under a year, thanks to the hard work of the crews.
The reopening of Highway 1 is a major victory for the local community and the tourism industry. The highway is a vital artery for both residents and visitors, and its closure has had a significant economic impact on the area.
Caltrans will continue to monitor the roadway and make any necessary repairs. Motorists are advised to drive with caution in the area.
