Travelers can expect up to half-hour delays on a Central Coast highway because crews are doing emergency work to fix impacts from this winter’s big storms.
Starting Tuesday, work will take place daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to remove loose rocks from the mountains above Highway 154 on San Marcos Pass.
The work will focus on the area from Painted Cave Road to Camino Cielo Road. Crews will remove debris from catchment basins and behind rock fences to prepare for future storms. They’ll also repair nets that help prevent rockslides onto the highway.
Delays could range from 10 to 30 minutes.
Caltrans officials are recommending that motorists traveling between the Central and South Coasts use Highway 101 instead of Highway 154 during daytime hours.
