For anyone planning a road trip up or down California Highway 1, the recent rain storms have caused cracks in the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge, closing off traffic through that part of Big Sur. Caltrans now says the damage is irreparable and the bridge will have to be replaced, which may take 6 months or more.

The closure means travelers can no longer make the complete road-trip along California's scenic Highway 1. Motorists may now only travel south on State Route 1 from Carmel to just south of Palo Colorado in Monterey County and north from Cambria to Ragged Point in San Luis Obispo County.
