MONTEREY COUNTY: Crews will be placing cable netting on the slope above Hwy 1, just north of Limekiln Creek, about 25 miles south of Big Sur, with the help of assistance from Aris Helicopter Services this Thursday, March 8, Caltrans officials have announced.
Work hours are from 8 am to 2 pm. Motorists can expect up to 30-minute traffic breaks/delays as part of the Rain Rocks Slope Drapery repair due to January’s slide.
Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway construction zones.

Does this mean that the section they are working on is open for motorists? That would be wonderful, as I am visiting south and would love to take the scenic highway down.
