Document Description
In Monterey County on SR 1 in Big Sur at PM 47.8, a log jam that accumulated during previous heavy rainstorms altered the course of the Big Sur River and directed heavy flow of the river towards the stacked concrete block wall causing loss of material in the front of the revetment and subsequent failure of the revetment. Initiation of an emergency project is recommended to address failure of the revetment and an adjoining timber crib wall to protect the SR 1 embankment. Caltrans proposes to reconstruct a rock slope protection (RSP) revetment to alleviate the immediate emergency and potential highway loss of SR 1. Damage to SR 1, at this location, would cut off vital access for residents and emergency vehicles in this area. The damage to both public and private property will result in loss of property, isolation of property tenants, and economic downturn for the community.
