Continued road construction along Highway 1 could impact drivers on the north coast of San Luis Obispo County.

Starting Monday, Aug. 19, the Highway 1 on and off ramps at 13th Street and C Street in Cayucos will be closed from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. through Thursday, Aug. 22. They'll also be closed on Friday, Aug. 23 from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m.

There will also be lane closures in both directions of Highway 1 from 24th Street to Harmony Valley Road starting Monday, Aug. 19 through Thursday, Aug. 22 from 7 a.m.. until 4 p.m. and on Friday, Aug. 23 from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. Caltrans says motorists should expect 15 minute delays.

The closures are part of a project to resurface the pavement and reconstruct the ramps and shoulders of the highway. It's expected to be complete this November.

A separate project to resurface Highway 1 from north of Harmony Valley Road to Cambria Pines Road is also continuing. Drivers can expect alternating lane closures with flaggers starting Monday, Aug. 19 through Thursday, Aug. 22 from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. and on Friday, Aug. 23 from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m.

This project is expected to be complete by the end of the month.

To the north, Highway 1 will be closed from north of the San Carpoforo Creek Bridge to south of the Ragged Point Inn during the overnight hours from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday nights through Friday mornings for the next four weeks.

Crews are working on an emergency project to construct a viaduct and retaining wall near Ragged Point.

Caltrans says a temporary traffic signal is scheduled to be activated late this month or in early September that will allow traffic through the area during construction.
