KRON4 reports
Gov. Gavin Newsom is traveling to the California coast on Friday to commemorate the reopening of State Highway 1 at Rat Creek in Monterey County after heavy rainfall caused the roadway to collapse in January.
Nearly 150 feet of Highway 1 south of Big Sur was swept away by a mudslide.
Though rainfall from an atmospheric river storm was heavy, the area was susceptible to debris flows because of burn scars from last August’s wildfires.
