CENTRAL COAST, Calif. (KION) -- Drivers in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties should prepare for closures around notable bridges along Highway 1 on May 4.

According to Caltrans District 5, the seawall below Highway 1 near Rocky Creek Bridge will undergo emergency repairs from 10 p.m. on May 4 to 6 a.m. on May 5, resulting in a full closure of Highway 1 at Rocky Creek.

Despite the full closure, Big Sur will remain open for travelers.
