MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) - Crews are continuing to excavate during repair work to Regent's Slide, which was closed on Highway 1 on February 9, 2024.

Caltrans continues its excavation work with the installation of 2,000 shear dowels to stabilize slope movement identified in late April.

The installation of the dowels includes nearly 23 miles of steel and 900 tons of cement.

Excavation work will continue with a combined use of both conventional and remote-controlled equipment. This includes two large bulldozers and one excavator.

While work continues to be done, the Big Sur Coast will remain open and accessible except for a 6.8-mile segment one mile south of the Esalen Institute to two miles north of Lucia.
