LOS ANGELES — With storm-damaged Highway 1 under reconstruction in three different places, California Transportation Dept. officials say northbound drivers on that route won’t be able to reach Big Sur directly for at least two months.
In other words, Southern Californians, it may be time to reroute your early summer road-trip plans.
The Big Sur stretch of the highway, globally known for its views but vulnerable to mudslides since the highway opened in 1937, took a beating from 12 “atmospheric river” storms over the winter. It shut down in January.
