  • Several years ago I tried to drive 1. Reports were that it was closed due to house in road. Not too many places that have that problem.
  • With this big storm coming in (not here yet) I'd check the website before any travel through the area.

    That road is scary enough as it is, towing a trailer, people riding your tail, and tourists/pedestrians crossing the road without looking out for traffic.
  • It has been this way for more than 50 years from my own experience traveling through this area. Seems to be a permanent job site for the state highway workers. There is even a permanent set of traffic lights on each side of one major slide.

    I worked for the then Division of Highways in the 1970's and the engineers were clueless as to how to stabilize, and not destabilize slopes. The same practices that were consistently failing then are still being used today with exactly the same results. Two sections of new overpasses built by my house both had slope failures within 6 months of their completion. Great example of institutional insanity.
  • Have the CHP app on my iPhone and no closures in the Central Coast area. Also checked your link and all three section (South, Central and North) were open.
