Wildfire Fuels Reduction Work to Begin in Montara and Moss Beach Starting May 2026

Caltrans will begin fuel reduction work to mitigate wildfire risk along a Caltrans-owned parcel known as the "Devil's Slide Bypass" area in Montara and Moss Beach. Crews will remove vegetation, including trees, bark, limbs and other debris, to create defensible space between private property lines and state Right-of-Way, as recommended by CAL FIRE.

The wildfire mitigation project is scheduled to begin in May, 2026 and take between two and three months to complete. Neighbors should expect daytime work and noise. All work will take place on weekdays.
