Officials plan to temporarily close an iconic stretch of California’s landslide-plagued Highway 1 on the Big Sur coast this winter when forecasts of significant rain emerge.
 Highway 1 is a major scenic route for tourists driving between Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as a lifeline for small communities along the rugged coast.
The Monterey Herald reports the California Department of Transportation will provide two days of notice before closures for the Mud Creek or Paul’s Slide areas. | |
