Traumstraße weiterhin gesperrt
Der Highway 1 zwischen Big Sur und San Simeon bleibt für weitere 3-4 Wochen gesperrt. Wir hatten in diesem Beitrag bereits am 7. Januar 2023 darüber berichtet. Hier gibt es aktuelle Informationen über die Fortschritte der Instandsetzung: Caltrans District 5 informiert hier auf Twitter und auf dieser Webseite.

Big Sur: Highway 1 road closures lifting this weekend. But driving the entire span still impossible
Although two sections of the highway are reopening Saturday and Sunday, the agency still needs to move about 1 million cubic feet of dirt – equivalent to 11 Olympic size swimming pools – to replace a stretch of road fittingly called Paul’s Slide, near Limekiln State Park, where a devastating landslide split Highway 1 a month ago…

Road: Highway 1, Los Angeles – Schwere Schlammlawinen und Überschwemmungen legen den Pacific Coast Highway lahm und spülen Fahrzeug und Feuerwehrmann ins Meer
Am Donnerstag ergossen sich gewaltige Mengen an Regenwasser und Schlamm über den Pacific Coast Highway. Sie spülten ein Fahrzeug der Feuerwehr von L.A. von der berühmten Küstenstraße und führten zu einer Straßensperrung auf unbestimmte Zeit etwa von Santa Monica bis zum Malibu Pier…

Kalifornien: Highway 1 bei Gorda nach nächtlicher Sperrung aufgrund eines Erdrutsches wieder geöffnet
Der Highway 1 wurde am Freitagvormittag wieder geöffnet, nachdem der erste Erdrutsch des Jahres 2025 auf dem Teilstück des Highway 1 in Monterey County in der Nacht zum Donnerstag einen 12 Meilen langen Abschnitt der Straße gesperrt hatte. Ein kleiner Erdrutsch, der die Fahrbahn in nördlicher Richtung in einer unübersichtlichen Kurve verschüttete, ereignete sich während des letzten Sturms, der am Donnerstag über die Zentralküste zog. Der Erdrutsch ereignete sich in Monterey County zwei Meilen nördlich der Grenze zu San Luis Obispo County und führte zur Sperrung der Autobahn zwischen Ragged Point im nördlichen San Luis Obispo County und Gorda im südlichen Monterey County…

Kalifornien: Caltrans installiert Träger in Rocky Creek und gibt Highway 1 nach Big Sur wieder frei
Nachdem Caltrans am Wochenende während eines 24-stündigen Zeitraums neun Betonfertigteilträger an der Reparaturstelle des Rocky Creek auf dem Highway 1 installiert hatte, wurde die Fahrbahn wieder freigegeben und die Zufahrt nach Big Sur wiederhergestellt. Der Einbau der Träger erforderte eine längere Sperrung des Highway 1 von Samstag- bis Sonntagnacht, so dass die Arbeiter zwei schwere Kräne an beiden Enden des Projektgebiets einsetzen konnten, um die Arbeiten durchzuführen…

Highway 1, Kalifornien: Big Sur noch geschlossen, aber atemberaubend
Wir besuchen Kaliforniens ultimativen Road Trip, Carmel nach San Simeon, die Küstenroute des Highway 1 durch die neunzig windigen Meilen des wunderschönen Big Sur. Grund dafür sind die Schlammlawinen, die Big Sur auf halber Strecke bei Lucia geschlossen haben und Autofahrer auf einen Umweg schicken, der sie den ganzen Weg zurück nach Salinas führt…

Wir sind fertig“: Highway 101 Bar mit historischem Biervermächtnis schließt
Ein Taproom mit Grill am Highway 101, der von einem der ersten Mitarbeiter der Lagunitas Brewing Company gegründet wurde, schließt nach sechs turbulenten Jahren, die von Naturkatastrophen überschattet waren, für immer seine grüne Tür. Hopland Tap, benannt nach seinem Standort, der Stadt am Anfang der Nordküste, etwa 100 Meilen von San Francisco entfernt, wird voraussichtlich am Samstag seine letzte Nacht verbringen. Die Kneipe in einem historischen Backsteingebäude im Stadtzentrum kündigte einen gebührenden Abschied an: eine Show mit einer Grateful Dead-Coverband, handverlesenes Craft-Bier vom Fass und eine letzte Gelegenheit für die Landwirte, sich zu versammeln und zu feiern…

Highway 1, Kalifornien: San Simeon geht es sehr, sehr schlecht.
Maura Valencia, Inhaberin des Big Sur Restaurant in San Simeon, hatte gedacht, sie hätte schon alles gesehen. Von der COVID-19-Sperre bis zur langfristigen Schließung des nahe gelegenen Hearst Castle, dem größten Anziehungspunkt der Stadt, hatte sie gehofft, dass die bevorstehende Wiedereröffnung des Schlosses der Stadt neuen Schwung verleihen würde. In gewisser Weise war das auch der Fall, erklärte sie kürzlich, aber dann kamen die Stürme, die mehrere Abschnitte des Highway 1, der San Simeon mit Big Sur und darüber hinaus verbindet, zerstörten…

San Simeon: Der Ort ohne eigene Rechtspersönlichkeit am nordwestlichen Rand des San Luis Obispo County besteht nur aus etwa einer Meile von Motels, Restaurants und einem oder zwei kleinen Läden am Highway 1.

Highway 1 Rocky Creek slip-out repair work hampered by winds
Caltrans’ work at one of its roadway projects on Highway 1 continues to make progress and evolve after giving visitors a path to Big Sur through the Rocky Creek slip-out repair site that started this week, but excessive winds are a concern and hampering some of the repair work. On Monday, Caltrans opened its twice-daily convoys, previously only available to locals and essential workers, to also include all members of the traveling public. But travelers must be aware that after the last convoy, they will need to have overnight reservations in the Big Sur area. Travelers to Big Sur should also know that three landslides are still under repair further south resulting in the ongoing closure of Highway 1 starting at Dolan Point, so there is no exit to the south…
