Southern HWY 1 Closure

Recommended Posts

Pfieffer Canyon Bridge has been closed for a couple of weeks now since it started slipping away.  The town of Big Sur is divided in half and other landslides along the route have cut them off from the south.

Better plan on avoiding Hwy 1 from south of Monterey to north of San Simeon (Hearst's Castle) for the forseeable future.

Fish and wildlife bureaucracy is holding up work on a foot trail going around the bridge.  Access to Big Sur Villiage has been totally cut off for close to 3 weeks now because Hwy 1 south of town is still blocked by landslides.

Meanwhile the Caltrans bureaucracy says the bridge is too fragile to let the stranded people walk across it, yet it withstands 3 hours of pounding with a 6,000 lb. wrecking ball.

What's wrong with this picture?
