Caltrans work to close Highway 1 overnight near Rocky Creek next week

Caltrans has announced that Highway 1 near Rocky Creek will face complete overnight closures on October 29-30, from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. , as part of ongoing infrastructure improvement efforts.

These closures are vital for the safety and enhancement of the roadway, which is heavily trafficked by both residents and tourists. From October 31 to November 4, the highway will be fully open during the overnight hours, providing some relief to nighttime travelers. However, during the day, drivers should anticipate intermittent delays of up to 20 minutes due to crews transporting equipment to the excavation site. The roadwork is part of a broader initiative by Caltrans to maintain and upgrade California's highways to ensure safer travel conditions. Given the popularity of the Highway 1 route along the coast, these updates are crucial for managing traffic flow and safety standards.

Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed and adjust their travel plans accordingly to minimize inconvenience. This proactive approach aims to enhance the overall driving experience on one of California's most scenic highways.
