The Holiday Slide off of Highway 9 near Ben Lomond is set to reopen to one-way traffic at 10 a.m. Friday following inspection assessments after recent rains, according to a release from Caltrans.
A temporary signal system has been put in place to direct traffic as repair work continues, but travelers can expect delays on this route as a second temporary signal system was already put in place just south of this location at Highway 9.
The section of roadway between lower Glen Arbor Road and Holiday Lane has been closed since early January, after heavy winter storms triggered a massive mudslide that covered the roadway along with multiple downed trees.
Since that slide occurred, crews have been working to remove debris, stabilize the slope, manage drainage and rebuild a damaged retaining wall. The effort was set back several times as additional atmospheric river storms and heavy rainfall hit the Central Coast in the weeks that followed the original incident.
