State Highway 1 south of Elk remains closed as of Wednesday evening due to an active mudslide spanning 8000 to 10000 Highway 1, Caltrans reported. Heavy rain from an atmospheric river caused the slide and hazardous travel. Crews, working through the night to clear the blockage, face slow removal due to the slide’s continued activity. $2 million in emergency funds has been allocated for the cleanup. Caltrans has provided no estimated reopening time.
