“Wow, crazy. How would engineers know if a road can be rebuilt through that area? Doesn’t look like it would ever be too stable or secure....”
I was down to Big Sur ( from Monterey) a couple of weeks ago. The road is closed beyond Post Oak Ranch and Nepenthe As for rebuilding, the bridges on this road were build circa 1932, and the road has survived with a slide here or there for 80 years.
So the slide is between Nepenthe and Esalen? Is Esalen accessible from the south?
