IS CLOSED FROM RAGGED POINT (SAN LUIS OBISPO CO) TO 15 MI NORTH OF BIG SUR
/AT PALO COLORADO/ (MONTEREY CO) - DUE TO A MUDSLIDE - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO

Re-opening ??? Heavy damage along the HWY from recent heavy rains. Rumors that It could be up to a year or longer before re-opening.

Wow. So glad I'm reading, this route was in my plans for July... I'll research more. Thanks for Posting.

yes, when they say "alternate route" it's not a slight detour.

it's probably picking up the 101 from Salinas / Paso Robles

( San Simeon is reachable from the south)-




take the central coast off your list for this year- but if you have to check the caltrans website for updated info.
