Big Sur highway collapse

M_Six · 01-30-2021, 05:41 PM

Yikes. Won't be many folks traveling Rte 1 near Big Sur for a while. This is gonna take some serious engineering to repair.

squareforce · 01-30-2021, 06:08 PM

Aw man. Me and my wife were planning to go back to visit Cali and Big Sur was one of the places we wanted to revisit.

zx10guy · 01-30-2021, 06:11 PM

Is it even possible to fix that big of a hole on that kind of slope?

2000cs · 01-30-2021, 06:13 PM

Bridge, but will it get the necessary environmental permits? Might be the end of US1

andrewmr · 01-30-2021, 06:13 PM

It's called a bridge.

EDIT: Almost typed fast enough.

chenry · 01-30-2021, 06:26 PM

Ah maan not again - such a bummer

gatorfast · 01-30-2021, 06:40 PM

Couple of ramps outta do the trick

zx10guy · 01-30-2021, 06:54 PM

Even with a bridge, is it even geologically stable to put one in?

Sara · 01-30-2021, 07:28 PM

Holy shit

JJ 911SC · 01-30-2021, 07:48 PM

Holy caca

Mo2002 · 01-30-2021, 07:50 PM

Hopefully nobody was hurt. Bridge is not the answer. You won't be able to construct it in that area.

CTinline-six · 01-30-2021, 08:45 PM

Imagine being the first person to come around the corner and discover that right after it happened?

Get the PENNDOT engineers on it. They design and build impressive bridges in mountainous areas. The CALTRANS engineers can tack a couple of earthquake brackets on after traffic resumes.

HXS · 01-30-2021, 11:02 PM

So crazy.... we were just there last month.

RugbyBro · 01-31-2021, 12:26 AM

Knowing CA, this bridge will take 5 years longer and cost $6bn more than planned...

MisterF80M3 · 01-31-2021, 12:38 AM

Man.. was planning to go camping there in the spring..

evil-G-nius · 01-31-2021, 03:01 AM

Its crazy...but not the first time either. Back in 2017 there was a huge slide that took out HWY 1 also.

Maynard · 01-31-2021, 03:58 AM

Crazy pics, especially having driven there. Doubt it will need a bridge, just a little 'road bondo'. They are constantly fixing Hwy 1, packing the dirt that falls onto it under the undercut edge, basically. It is an amusing exercise in mankind's effort to try to make something that dynamic into a fixed point.

joooiiiiii · 01-31-2021, 04:58 AM

Never been on HWY 1 near Big Sur but damn--hope it doesn't take too long to get repaired.

TrevorM3 · 01-31-2021, 09:44 PM

ahh yes, millions of taxpayer dollars going to try and attempt to fix that.

DETRoadster · 01-31-2021, 11:29 PM

Maybe do what they did on the island of Reunion...

evil-G-nius · 02-01-2021, 12:05 AM

^^^That would not work for the area that it happened. PLus with all the red tape around here it would take forever
