California’s Highway 1 to reopen after years-long closure due to landslides
AI Summary
After being closed since January 2023 due to landslides, a section of California's Highway 1 in Big Sur is scheduled to reopen on Wednesday. The closure, caused by severe winter storms and subsequent slides, has significantly impacted tourism and local businesses. The reopening allows through-traffic between San Francisco and Los Angeles along the Big Sur coast for the first time in three years. Repair efforts involved removing hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of material and utilizing remote-controlled equipment to ensure worker safety. While the reopening is a positive development, Highway 1 has a history of closures due to its location in a geologically active area.
