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.
Drove the Coast Road in 2000. Aim to do it again soon. It will never be stable, and they knew it when they built it. However, it’s worth the trouble to rebuild it when necessary. One of the great drives in the entire world.

I doubt that any serious damage was done to the road bed.
I would not want to be the cat skinner that has to glide the machine down into that mess to remove the material!
Very dangerous work to say the least.
It’s not. That’s its charm.
