Hwy 1 Surfers' Beach Project Starts Nov 23
Over the next few months Caltrans will install 175-linear feet of rock slope protection on Surfers’ Beach as an interim solution (10-15 years) to reduce erosion and prevent collapse of Highway 1. The project includes paving a 400-foot section of the Coastal Trail along the west side of the highway and a staircase down to the beach.
Construction activities will occur between 7AM and 3:30 PM, although some night work may be required. Minimal lane closures may take place. The pedestrian trail will be temporarily detoured. Construction is expected to be complete by Jan 2016.
This slide presentation includes project plan view and beach cross section.
This press release provides more background.
