Pacific Grove drivers and stop avoiding the intersection of Hwy. 68 and Hwy 1. At least for the time being.

Caltrans crews completed survey work two days early today on 2 ½ miles of State Route 68 (Holman Highway) in both directions from Stuart Avenue to the Scenic Drive Overcrossing, including the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP). Survey crews were originally scheduled to work Monday, Sept. 22 through Thursday, Sept. 25. 

“Our survey crews used a state-of-the-art van that minimizes exposure of workers and impact on traffic while maximizing safety and time-saving benefits”, said Tim Gubbins, Caltrans District 5 Director.

Electronic message boards were posted to alert motorists. Maintenance crews and the CHP were on site to help with traffic flow and worker safety. Survey crews successfully finished two days earlier than scheduled, with minimal delays.
