A portion of California’s scenic Highway 1 located about 40 miles south of Big Sur near the Monterey County, Calif., line, will reopen tomorrow.
The section of road was closed for almost two months because of a landslide. With the reopening, motorists can now travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco via Highway 1.
“For Big Sur and beyond, this is tremendous news and the reopening comes at a critical time for summer travel,” John Reyes, President and CEO of the Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau, said in a news release. “Tourism is our destination’s second largest economy and Highway 1 is an important artery for the millions of visitors we welcome year-round.”
