Highway 1 Bridge Demolition Project 24 Hour Full Closure of Highway 1 Between Bay/Porter and Park Avenue in Capitola Saturday April 6 at 7 PM through Sunday April 7 at 7 PM
Caltrans is scheduled to close both directions of Highway 1 for 24 hours beginning Saturday, April 6 at 7 pm until Sunday, April 7 at 7 pm to allow for the demolition of the Capitola Avenue Overcrossing.
- Northbound Highway 1 Detour: Motorists traveling northbound on Highway 1 will be directed off at the Park Avenue exit, will travel north on Soquel Drive and return to northbound Highway 1 at the Bay/Porter onramp.
- Southbound Highway 1 Detour: Motorists traveling southbound on Highway 1 will be directed off at the Bay/Porter exit, will travel south on Soquel Drive and return to southbound Highway 1 at the Park Avenue onramp.
Regional travelers from the Bay Area, Central Valley, Salinas River Valley, and the greater Highway 1 coast, are advised that there may be significant delays associated with this closure. US 101 remains a viable alternative route for travel during this closure.
This closure is associated with an ongoing project to construct north and southbound auxiliary lanes and bus-on-shoulder improvements on Highway 1 between the Bay Ave./Porter St. and State Park Drive interchanges. This project will also construct a bicycle/pedestrian overcrossing at Mar Vista Dr. and replace the existing Capitola Ave. overcrossing at Highway 1.
Updated project information for the improvements on Highway 1 between the Bay Ave./Porter St. and State Park Drive interchanges can be found on the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s website.
