HWY 1 in Big Sur to reopen this summer
MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. - Crews have been working to assess damage and remove debris at a stretch of Highway 1 that was washed out during storms last month, and now Caltrans says it has an estimated reopening timeline.
The agency said it will begin major emergency repairs at Rat Creek on March 1 and they expect that the road will be ready to reopen in early summer.
Caltrans plans to reconnect the road where a 150-foot section was washed away with what they call an enhanced fill option. That means the canyon will be filled with dirt in a V-shape and the new road will be built on top of it, Caltrans said.
