MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The Los Padres National Forest announced on Facebook Friday that the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road has once again reopened to motorized vehicles after being impacted by storms following the Dolan Fire in 2020.

The rangers applied for emergency funding through the Federal Highways Administration for 16 individual repair projects. They said that the projects included culvert replacement, paving and hazardous tree removal.

This road is the main east-west corridor between the Big Sur coast and U.S. Highway 101, according to Los Padres National Forest.

They also want to remind people that there is no roadside camping allowed along Nacimiento-Fergusson Road and that campfire restrictions are still in place.

I’ve been an international professional writer and performer for over 25 years. With a background in journalism, creative writing, dance and aerial, I find the intersection between all of these skills lands itself somewhere under the term “storytelling.”
