Arroyo Seco Road Reopens Following Slide Safeguard Work; Motorists will See Additional Work Over the Next Month

Arroyo Seco Road reopened to the public on Thursday, April 18 after major stabilization work. Motorists will see additional repairs occurring over the next month.

The County of Monterey Public Works and its contractor Graniterock were able to clear and

stabilize the road after damages from winter storms and more recently, crews have been able

to work in the area to put in some additional safeguards. Crews have installed protective

barriers to an area of the road under a hillside which had a visible landslide in 2023,

allowing the opening of the road to all traffic.

The landslide area is roughly near the intersection of Arroyo Seco Road and Carmel Valley

Road at milepost 4.5. This area has been constantly monitored since the slide was discovered

in April of 2023 and with the storms earlier this year, debris continues to fall toward the

roadway. A protective barrier was installed to stop the debris and small rocks from falling

directly onto the roadway.

Residents are urged to continue to exercise extreme caution while driving through this area as

the landslide continues to be active.

County staff has been in communication with US Forest staff regarding the progress of the

repairs. US Forest staff has also been assessing and performing repairs within the Arroyo

Seco Campground. That campground has been closed since 2023 winter storms damaged

sections of Arroyo Seco Road as well as certain areas within the Arroyo Seco Campgrounds.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation.

Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.
