What readers need to know
Caltrans' current Highway 1 route report now lists 24-hour one-way traffic control at Rocky Creek Bridge through 6 a.m. November 30, 2026. The previous route listing ended the control at 6 a.m. August 31, making the new date a three-month extension.
The construction control is at Rocky Creek Bridge, about 15.7 miles south of Monterey. Traffic may alternate through the work zone; Caltrans does not give a specific delay estimate in the current route report. Pacific Grove residents and visitors traveling toward Big Sur should check the linked route page before departure.
This is not a reopening or extension of the separate wildfire closure farther south. Caltrans continues to list Highway 1 closed from 11.7 miles north of Ragged Point to 9.5 miles north of Big Sur because of the Timber and Plaskett fires, with an alternate route required and no reopening estimate.
