Palo Colorado Road closed until further notice

Monterey County public works officials closed Palo Colorado Road due to storm-related road damage on Friday. The closure could last more than 30 days.

According to the county, a section of culvert failed due to flooding from Rocky Creek.

The road will will be closed until further notice at approximately Mile Post 3.3, which is past the Fire Station but before Long Ridge Road.

Local and through traffic will not have vehicular access beyond that location.

The county says it will make repairs as quickly as possible, but called it a major issue that will require substantial road reconstruction.

Palo Colorado Road will be closed for an extended period of time (at least 30 days).
