Hwy 1 at Rocky Creek has one-way signalized traffic control 24/7. Traffic will be stopped for 10 minutes at a time during daytime roadwork. Full overnight closures will be scheduled five nights a week Sundays through Thursdays – unless otherwise indicated. No overnight closures will occur on Friday and Saturday nights.
The project to construct a permanent viaduct about 1.5 miles south of Carmel near the Rocky Creek Bridge began on September 4th, 2012. Completion of the $11M project is scheduled for the end of October 2013.

The southbound Hwy 101 on-ramp at Curbaril Road will be closed 24/7 for a 4-week period beginning Sunday, May 5th at 9 pm.
This closure will allow for reconstruction and repaving of the on-ramp, and is part of the Atascadero Rehabilitation Project which includes the repaving of 11 miles of Hwy 101 from north of the Cuesta Grade to Traffic Way. The $25M project is now 85 percent complete.
