Point Sur State Historic Park

Access to Big Sur State Parks and surrounding businesses via Hwy 1 was restored on Friday, May 17, 2024. A new traffic signal was installed at Rocky Creek Slip Out to monitor one-lane, alternating North and South traffic, and delays in travel time are to be expected. State Parks is proud to have been a significant contributing agency to the emergency response effort following the Hwy 1 road slip out. During the closure we provided equipment staging facilities, emergency response, medical evacuation areas, and facilities for the community members and visitors that were temporarily stranded in Big Sur. We have shifted our operations from emergency support back to our regular State Parks Day use programs and campground activities. This area may be closed overnight due to ongoing work- please check current CalTrans information. Intermittent or full closures may be in effect. Overnight work will be scheduled five nights a week, Sunday through Thursday night, on a consistent schedule from 10 pm to 6 am. No overnight work will take place on Friday or Saturday nights. Beginning Sunday September 22, and continuing through the morning of Friday October 4, travelers will encounter a full closure of Hwy. 1 at Rocky Creek from 10 pm to 6 am, to allow for construction of the reinforced concrete support columns.
