Big Sur Coast Road Reopens, Restoring California’s Coastal Lifeline
TL;DR
California’s Pacific Coast Highway fully reopened after a three-year closure, with the seven-mile Big Sur stretch the last to come back online following multiple landslides (Regent’s Slide and Paul’s Slide) and a wildfire. Caltrans stabilized slopes with deep steel reinforcements and removed vast amounts of mud and debris, restoring a vital economic lifeline for Big Sur, and Gov. Newsom called the reopening a relief for local businesses and residents.
