Rocky Creek Bridge resumes two-way traffic as repairs along Highway 1 near completion

Monterey County’s famed Rocky Creek Bridge on state Highway 1 has fully reopened to traffic again after being closed for more than a year because of a slipout on the coastal side of the highway.

The southbound lane reopened in March after the viaduct structure was completed in the southbound direction. Travel was opened in both directions Saturday after crews installed six pre-cast concrete girders that will help finalize repairs to the northbound viaduct and cleared two heavy cranes from the highway.
