Rockslide crashes down onto California's busy US Highway 101

The relentless atmospheric river storms this winter have become too much for a hillside along California's busy U.S. Highway 101.

Caltrans cameras were rolling Friday night when a large section of a hillside gave way and crashed down onto the highway in Klamath, California, near the Oregon border. There were no reported injuries.

DOT crews say both directions of the two-lane highway are blocked and there is no estimate when the road will reopen.

The region has been soaked by multiple rainstorms this winter as a strong El Niño pattern kept the jet stream aimed squarely at California. Nearby Crescent City just received around 3 inches of rain from storms late in the week, just as two more atmospheric river storm systems loom this weekend and into next week.

The National Service warns that with Saturday soils across the state, additional mudslides and landslides will likely continue well into next week. Northern California is under a daily risk of flash flooding through Wednesday, according to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center.

All of Big Sur state parks and beaches are closed due to Highway 1 collapse

Zitat

The collection of state parks dotting the 70-mile stretch of rugged coast through Big Sur are closed until further notice in light of Saturday’s road collapse on Highway 1.

On Sunday, the California Department of Parks and Recreation announced that campers and day visitors would be turned away at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Andrew Molera State Park, Limekiln State Park, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and Point Sur State Historic Park. Those parks attract thousands of visitors each year and are home to some of Big Sur’s major attractions, including Pfeiffer Beach and McWay Falls.

“All camping reservations will be canceled, and refunds will be processed,” according to the announcement.

The slide occurred near Rocky Creek Bridge, just north of the famous Bixby Creek Bridge, and Caltrans has closed the roadway in both directions without an estimated timetable for reopening it.

Garrapata State Park, just north of Big Sur near Carmel, remains open.
