Caltrans News Flash #136
Date: June 29, 2017 District: Headquarters Contact: Susana Cruz Phone: (805) 549-3138 Contact: Tamie McGowen Phone: (916) 657-5060
MONTEREY COUNTY – In this Caltrans News Flash, Public Information Officer Susana Cruz travels up scenic, coastal Highway 1 to the site of the recent massive landslide at Mud Creek, located nine miles north of the San Luis/Monterey County line.
This landslide, which occurred on May 20, 2017, re-shaped the California coastline with new slide material 600 feet out into the ocean creating 15 acres of new land. A quarter-mile section of Highway 1 now lies under rock and dirt 1,700 feet wide. In total, about 75 acres of land were displaced, including the 15 acres out to sea or 2.4 million yards of slide debris weighing approximately 4.2 million tons. The slide is currently still active with access restricted.

Three separate areas of Highway 1 remain impacted by this winter's storms: Mud Creek (PM 8.9), Paul's Slide (PM 21.5) and Pfeiffer Canyon (PM 45.5).
