***UPDATE 2***
EMERGENCY BIG SUR RIVER PROJECT ON HIGHWAY 1 BEGINS NEXT WEEK
MONTEREY COUNTY – An emergency project to prevent the Big Sur River from cutting into the embankment by the Big Sur Lodge/Big Sur Park Campgrounds begins next Monday, Feb. 1, Caltrans officials announced today.
Alternating lane closures with one-way reverse traffic control will be in effect from 7 am to 5 pm Mondays through Fridays for two weeks with closures primarily on the northbound side. Up to 10-minute delays are anticipated
There are power lines in the work zone so PG&E will be shutting down the power for one day only on Monday, Feb. 1, from 8 am to 3 pm due to a power line relocation and setting two power poles across the road. Caltrans roadwork will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 2 and continue for two weeks through mid-February.
The project is necessary as the Big Sur River is rapidly eroding the hillside. Big rocks, approximately 5’ x 5’ x 5’ will be placed via crane in the river to keep it from further cutting into the roadway embankment.
Granite Construction of Watsonville is the contractor for this $925,000 emergency project.
Caltrans reminds motorists that “we’re here to get you there.”
