HIGHWAY 1 IS STILL CLOSED 25 MILES SOUTH OF BIG SUR (AND 1.8 MILES SOUTH OF THE TOWN OF LUCIA). THAT’S BECAUSE A BOULDER THE SIZE OF A PICK-UP TRUCK WAS ONLY THE FIRST OF SEVERAL LARGE ROCKS TO COME DOWN ONTO THE ROAD NEAR THE PITKINS CURVE – RAIN ROCKS AREA…JUST SOUTH OF THE ROCK SHED PROJECT. THE HILLSIDE THERE REMAINS UNSTABLE. CAL-TRANS GEOLOGISTS, MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION CREWS ARE CLEARING DEBRIS AND MAKING REPAIRS TO THE ROADWAY. THEY ARE ALSO NETTING, AND CONTINUING TO MAKE MORE DETAILED INSPECTIONS THAN THEY COULD YESTERDAY. THE ROADWAY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL AT LEAST TOMORROW (FRIDAY) AFTERNOON. AGAIN, THIS CLOSURE IS ON HIGHWAY 1, 25 MILES SOUTH OF BIG SUR (AND 1.8 MILES SOUTH OF THE TOWN OF LUCIA).
