Morro Road Soldier Pile Wall Project
Project Description
Caltrans plans to construct a soldier pile wall on State Route 41 near Morro Bay, about 3 miles east of the Route 1 and Route 41 separation. The embankment at this location has slipped after heavy rains and damaged the roadway. Construction of the wall would stabilize the steep embankment slope, protect the roadway, and restore the roadway to its previous configuration.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to address the failing embankment slope below the State Route 41 roadway at post mile 3.1 and protect the roadway from continued slope failure.
