MONTEREY COUNTY — Travelers on Highway 1 in Carmel will encounter night-time lane closures from Monday night, October 12 through Friday morning, October 16 with operations from 8 pm to 5 am.
Work will result in one-way traffic control on Highway 1 from just south of Carpenter Street continuing south for nearly a mile close to Carmel High School. Trees will be trimmed to meet compliance and clearance of PG&E powerlines for safety and mitigation.
Message and directional signs will alert travelers in advance of the areas under traffic control. Travelers may experience delays of up to 5 minutes.
