BIG SUR, Calif. — Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur is starting to fail.
According to CalTrans an active slide has been taking place on the mountainside under the bridge since Saturday. The slide is moving one of two column holding the bridge up and cracks are visible at the top of the post. "Basically the mountainside that it is sitting on is moving, which, causes the column to move," said Heath Johnston with CalTrans.
The problem has the bridge closed to all vehicle traffic and California Highway Patrol is turning people around at Big Sur Station.

God is displeased.
Oh boy.
This and Oroville. Getting rather Biblical.
I am surprised...CALTRANS actually has people working and not watching porn all day? Pfft!
Bibi cal? Yeah, the state gov taking the tax-payer money for pensions and illegals. I do not think cali is the only state doing that. Oh forgot...the high speed train and homeless. Who is getting that cash?
Not the train or the homeless.
I went by the photo so fast I thought it was cellulite on a woman’s thigh.
lol
....guess it’s time to ask Pelosi where’s the money biocht?
I was just talking to my kid about how I fixed a leak in the water pipe years ago with some metal epoxy goop, sheet metal and hose clamps. Lasted for five or six years until we upgraded to plastic.
Maybe one of those bridge folks will see my post.
And both are probably related to the large amount of rain they have received lately. And more on the way.
They do nothing for 8 hours, then if they feel like it, they do their actual work on OT.
Heck of a job Brownie!
Not much they can do with the mountain side moving.
Exrackry
“Big Sur residents stuck on the southern end of damaged Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge may get a chance to move their vehicles one-at-a-time across on Wednesday—that is if Caltrans deems it safe to do so.
The bridge was closed to all vehicle traffic on Sunday, after it was discovered one of its support columns was fractured due to the shifting hillside underneath. Only pedestrians were allowed to cross.”
That’s not going to buff right out....
