For months, a quarter-mile stretch of Scenic Road has been closed to the public while infrastructure battered by heavy rain and high surf earlier this year underwent emergency restoration. Repairs …
CARMEL – Repairs on a section of Carmel’s main waterfront drive – which was damaged during January’s parade of winter storms – are nearing completion, according to the County of Monterey.
Damages were primarily caused by storm surge. Saavedra previously told the Herald that severe weather at the start of the year brought repeated bouts of large waves to the beachfront slope that Scenic Road runs along. With the waves came erosion, exposing utilities housed in the road’s supportive slope while causing asphalt to crumble. The damage forced the Carmel Area Wastewater District to shut off water and sewage for a few houses close to the undermined slide of Scenic.
Reconstruction plans primarily consisted of putting in a soil-nail wall. To do so, crews were tasked with driving 20- to 30-foot nails in Scenic’s undermined slope to anchor and hold a mesh cover.Parts of Scenic Road by Carmel River State Beach collapsed due to damage from the recent storms. The storm also took out the sewage line for six houses along Scenic Road .
What remains this week is planned repaving of Scenic Road where it faltered underneath. Once the road is revamped, emergency repairs will be done and Scenic will be able to reopen, according to Saavedra.In all, project costs will likely total $2.6 million, Saavedra estimated.
