HWY 1 problems aren't due to climate change. It's more the geography and engineering.

I last drove this part of PCH from Santa Barbara north to Carmel in '82. I have never known a time when Hwy 1 wasn't falling off a cliff or something overhead not tumbling down on the highway, so yes, they knew all along that this would be an ongoing fix-it project. However, if you have never driven this hunk of asphalt and you can take a little time (off season), it is an amazing drive! It is on my bucket list to get a Miata with a strong heater, a manual gearbox, pop the ragtop and take a drive. Who knows, when I was last on it, life was still in black & white--things change. Maybe it would require a midnight drive or I'd likely face people dawdling ahead of me in rental cars they do not know how to drive. PCH requires no traffic, the ability to spin the RPMs shifting up and down the gears with good tunes out of an acceptable sound system and laughing like a pirate. Well, one man's opinion.

It began with the Ocean Shore Railroad, a scheme to bring folks out to the beaches for recreation and land sales! They fought the same battles back then, with serious damage done by the infamous earthquake and fire of 1906, and by 1912, it was pretty much done for.

One of the problems with relying on AI narration and not monitoring it: regional names get mispronounced in predictable ways. Carmel-by-the-Sea in Monterey County on the Central Coast is known as Carmel -- but not pronounced like the candy. It's "car-MEL", not "CAR-mul". Like many Californian towns and cities, it was founded by Spanish colonists (in 1797) and had a Spanish name, in this case there was a Catholic Mission called Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo. Borromeo was the Archbishop of Milan, Italy, in the latter 16th century. So we have an English interpretation of a Spanish interpretation of an Italian town. Of course it's going to be idiosyncratic and require someone presenting an historical overview to keep on top of such details.

Eh, its along hillsides and cliffs. There have always been occasional slumps & landslides. Also the most active faults are farther inland. You guys are making more out of it than there is. We have less used roads through canyons in the Sierras that have the same problems and we just bulldoze the slides & fix any subsidence there too. You have to drive up sand canyon to get to Lake Isabella. You should see the boulders that have fallen onto the road & the river below on the other side. And there are the highways from the central valley through the mountains to the coast. There is also the grapevine through the mountains to Los Angeles. Any road that is not perfectly flat has these same maintenance issues & California is a mountainous state.

I read once that CALTRANS spends more on PCH than any other road in the state. All because of tourism.

Agreed. And no one is building roads on Mars or the heights of the Himalayas or for that matter the peaks of the Sierra Nevada range - all places they shouldn't be.

when he said climate change, he lost me. The main reason for the slides is natural movement of the earth and poor engineering many years ago. My wife and I have driven along the entire PCH in the past. Beautiful area. No problems on the hwy and met a lot of great people along the way. Saw Hearst Castle which was a highlight of our trip

It's not the engineering. It's the steepness and the heavy rains in the winter. Period.

If it’s possible to build an elevated double track with multipurpose trail that is resistant to the geological issues identified, I think the highway aspect should be abandoned in favor of people getting access without being distracted where attention to the road is crucial

It needs major repairs ! They spent billions on the fast train that was never finished !! 🤷

BTW, you keep saying, car-mel, like the candy. I believe it should be pronounced, car, like a vehicle you drive, mel, like the name. Check it out. Ask the local Chamber of Commerce. Over all I enjoyed the video.

Its AI or a bot that is doing the narration. How can it be that hard to have a real person speaking????

I got an idea, let's split hairs while the highway slides away!! Just think if we could outlaw gravity the problem would be solved!

Excellent Presentation 💐

The wife and I were in Carmel in 2007 for a wedding that failed to materialize. I wanted to drive down highway 1 and experience the beauty of Big Sur. Needless to say we were there during the "June gloom". The traffic was murder, motorcycles splitting lanes and many of the curves encountered, I was afraid to take my eyes off the road. Maybe there is or was a better time to enjoy the beauty of the California coastline.

There are no lanes to split through Big Sur.

FAll.

I'm hopeful new materials and construction techniques will enable the preservation of this road which gives us access to a simply spectacular part of the country!❤ Long live Hwy 1! ❤

Basically a very good video. Living in Michigan, I often have dreamed of driving the Coast hwy, but have heard of several of the slides closing the road. I think my days of going there are disappearing as the slides become more numerous and chances for driving the whole thing are less likely. Climate change has been evolving since the beginning of the world and are not necessarily caused by human intervention. Our attempts to ignore it until now have not changed the fact that it will always be an issue that we cannot address and will always be there. Politicians say its our fault for encroaching on nature, but it would happen whether we're here or not.

We took that highway 2 years ago. It is so beautiful.

In the early 2000's, my husband went to assist by sitting in a truck at the northern end of the hwy where the collapse of hwy 1 had dropped all lanes by few feet, he took pictures. A couple of days later, it had dropped a couple more feet. He was sitting in a heavy ODOT truck a few ft from there to block any traffic from coming through. Why Oregon DOT was involved, IDK. But he was there non stop for weeks. The ground was falling from under the road.

Just how much has the sea risen along the California coast? Do you really think that has caused any of this? Really?

It's so so sad grew up in Santa Cruz and drove up the coast to San Francisco many many times. Spent times on the beaches between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay . So it is very sad to me that that beautiful highway is losing the erosion battle.

Relax it's all still there and thriving.

It is Monterey County, NOT Santa Cruz County.

*They need to learn to build a Hwy that can move around so when the earth shift no big deal. The guys go down and move it back or add some more support poles or beams like Lego blocks if the mountain slid again. It's not that hard to do. And way more cost effective in the long run.*

When the BIG one hits, Ca will split off and go into the sea.

Highway 1 is a beautiful scenic route and it takes extra traffic to other major freeways

I drove down it in 1990 from SF to LA. I wonder how much of what I drove down is still there?. IMHO, it was worth it.

It's all there. Minor changes below BIg Sur proper and the Devils slide portion although still a road is now an hiking park with the highway skirting through the tunnel shown (from the north end).

Misleading title as usual, it's bee collapsing into the sea every since it was first constructed.

A sisyphean task it is indeed! Nice job working the perfect adjective into the narrative.

There is a very good answer, that is being ignored. The Old Coast Road cut in south of Pfeiffer and then crossed Rocky Creek about a mile inland, then came out to the coast again, continuing north where the land is more level near the ocean.

Yes and that area is north of the steep cliffs without any broad valleys to build a road through. Between the mountain peaks and the roaring surf is the beauty of the road.

When I was a young boy my family went to San Francisco often.We always took PCH and it seemed very stable. The last time I went to Frisco was in the 80's with my wife. We had a nice trip. Now with the erosion happening so frequently I'm afraid to go that route ever again. It's a shame but you can't keep putting a Band Aid on this thing. lives are at risk.

The Romans would laugh since the bridges built by them are still standing 😂

Interesting. Thanks.

Pretty good, very important. Same old story any time humans come up with shortcuts against Nature. I don't know if a real human is narrating this, but they sure need to brush up on their pronunciation of quite a few words in the doc.
