Highway 1 sees closure due to rockslides, now reopened between Carmel and Big Sur

BIG SUR, Calif. (KRON) -- Highway 1 is experiencing a closure due to rockslides this weekend, and a portion of the roadway has been reopened, according to CalTrans District 5.

On Saturday morning, CalTrans announced that Hwy-1 would be closed from Ragged Point to the Big Sur area because of a rockslide. The agency anticipated the highway would be reopened by Sunday morning.

Hwy-1 has since reopened between Carmel and Big Sur. The highway will remain closed from Ragged Point to just south of Big Sure as geo-tech engineers assess the damage before cleanup can begin.
