It's been 14 months, and they've moved a hell of a lot of dirt, and the highway is a bit ahead of schedule to get opened to traffic. It was the largest landslide ever recorded on the Big Sur coast, and covered a third of a mile of the highway and burying it beneath 40 feet of dirt and rock.
The slide also added 15 acres to California’s picturesque coastline.
So the target date for completion, previously set for mid-September, has been moved forward to late July
