The southbound lane of Highway 1 south of Lucia on Big Sur’s south coast is closed, but the road remains open, Caltrans announced today.
About 200 feet of the lane has been blocked off due to storm-related damage to the shoulder of the highway, the agency reports, but the northbound lane remains open and stop signs have been put up at both ends to allow motorists to take turns using the single lane.
