Update 10FEB23
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…

Caltrans working on three Highway 1 slides, Paul’s Slide to open late spring
A closure on Highway 1 of about 12 miles continues as Caltrans works to right the roadway from the affects of three landslides along the Central California coastline, but the highway remains open for the vast majority of the rest of the road. Progress at the the three slide locations – Paul’s Slide, Dolan Point Slide and Regent’s Slide – has been delayed by a series of recent storm events, but progress at each site was safeguarded and a return to production in the immediate aftermath of rainy weather was possible. But slide activity is not necessarily tied to rain events and can happen long after…

“We had two new slides north of Paul’s Slide,” Drabinski explained. “For the first slide, we were going to rally and mobilize equipment from the south, but the next day the Regent’s Slide cut off access from the south, so we had to come down [with equipment] from the north…

Popular stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway closing nightly due to storm damage
A section of the Pacific Coast Highway in Ventura County is closing nightly for the indefinite future because of road erosion worsened by the recent winter storms. Caltrans said it’s closing a stretch of highway between Sycamore Canyon Road and Las Posas Road from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. or later, every night for an undetermined duration. Closing the road at night, when there’s reduced visibility and the danger of changing conditions or growing damage, is a necessary “safety precaution,” Caltrans said. The highway won’t reopen in the morning until an inspection deems it safe…
