Caltrans has received confirmation from the National Weather Service (NWS) data that the significant storms have passed in the areas of Mud Creek and Paul’s Slide on Highway 1 in the Big Sur area.
In addition, Caltrans Geotech, Design and Maintenance crews assessed all road areas within the closure limits again earlier today. Our crews have been busy clearing debris/slide material at both locations, including our contractor at Paul’s Slide, to make it traversable for public traffic. As a result, a spokesperson says that Highway 1 at Mud Creek re-opened at 1 pm today, and Paul’s Slide opened about 5 p.m.
