Caltrans finishedrepairs on a retaining wall in October after Paul’s Slide was damaged during a storm in January 2017 and a portion of Highway 1 was closed for several months while crews made repairs.

The predicted closure is due to heavy rain predicted Sunday evening into Monday morning. It’s likely the closure will begin at 5 p.m. Sunday.

Crews will continue to monitor the forecast and will provide an update by noon on Sunday.
