Highway 1 Ramp Closure at Park Avenue Postponed

Due to inclement weather, the planned closure of the southbound Highway 1 Park Avenue off-ramp has been postponed. The new closure dates will be announced soon.

This closure is necessary for crews to pour concrete for a new soundwall near the ramp. Due to the steep slope in the area, a large concrete pump will be used, making it essential to close the off-ramp to ensure safety during the work. Portable message boards will be in place to alert travelers and direct them to the next available exit.

The contractor for this ongoing $78 million project is Granite Construction of Watsonville, CA, It is expected to be completed by Fall of 2026.

Our crews deserve to get home safely too.
Drive slowly and carefully in work zones.
