Gleason Beach Highway 1 Realignment Project

Gleason Beach Highway 1 Realignment Project

The project proposes to realign a 3,030-3,800 foot, two-lane section of Highway 1, approximately 400 ft inland of the current alignment at Gleason Beach. At the current rate of coastal retreat, it is expected that the 87 ft section of roadway at Gleason Beach abutting the coastal bluffs will be undermined within five years. The purpose of the project is to provide a safe transportation facility that is no longer vulnerable to advancing coastal erosion. Current design alternatives include the construction of a bridge where the proposed realignment crosses the Scotty Creek floodplain. The proposed length of the bridge varies between 750-900 ft.
