Highway 1 will reopen near Big Sur this week ahead of schedule, following a months-long storm-related closure, Caltrans announced on Monday.
The scenic stretch of highway between Cambria and Carmel will open at noon on Friday, a week ahead of the agency’s most recent estimate, and about two months ahead of the original target date.
