BIG SUR (CBSLA/AP) — California transportation officials say an iconic stretch of Highway 1 in the scenic Big Sur coastal region that was blocked last year by a massive landslide will reopen to traffic Wednesday. The California Department of Transportation says the road that connects Los Angeles to San Francisco will be open to all travelers by midmorning. #Hwy1 at Mud Creek south of #BigSur is OPEN for business as of 9:45am! Safe travels, everyone. pic.twitter.com/hxX3AgQ1Dp — Caltrans District 5 (@CaltransD5) July 18, 2018 The department says construction workers made great progress and the road will open weeks earlier than expected. They had estimated an opening by the end of July . Highway 1 was blocked by a massive landslide in May 2017 , displacing 75 acres of land. The debris slid well out into the ocean, creating 15 acres of new coastline about 9 miles. A new @USGS research project started taking air photos just before #BigSur #MudCreek landslide. This time-lapse animation shows what happened and progress during construction. No photos from July, too foggy!

Last year’s rough winter closed at least two other stretches of road in the area, forcing some resorts to close and others to use helicopters to ferry in supplies and guests. Instead of trying to clear the scenic highway of the 1 million tons of rock and dirt that had come down, state transportation officials instead decided to build a new road on top of it, a project that cost $54 million.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Westchester County executive is meeting with transportation and trucking officials Friday to find a way to keep commercial trucks off the Hutchinson River Parkway. Commercial trucks are banned on the parkway, but routinely smash into the low overpasses in Westchester and the Bronx. The most recent incident happened Monday when the driver of a truck sheared off the top and side of his trailer like a tin can, blaming his partner for the error. “He sent me down this road,” the driver said. “And this was the result of him sending me down this road right here.” The drove the 11-foot moving truck under the King Street bridge in Rye Brook despite the sign saying the clearance is nine-and-a-half feet, signs saying passenger cars only and detection systems that are supposed to alert drivers they are over height. “He knows he made a mistake,” said Cardell Talton of Atlas Moving. It’s a problem that happens far too frequently on the parkway. One happened on June 27 in the Bronx and another on June 12 in Pelham. On Friday, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is holding a roundtable meeting on the issue. “It’s not one thing that we need to do,” Latimer said. “It’s multiple things that we need to do.” Latimer says he’s demanding action from the trucking industry and the state Department of Transportation. “There are multiple reasons why drivers miss what information is out there already,” he said. As for the incident Monday, a woman who was driving in a car was injured and taken to the hospital.

VAN NUYS (CBSLA) — Police are investigating after a Los Angeles woman was harassed on the road and followed home by an angry driver. It’s a story that Lynn Ferguson would like to forget — when a simple shopping trip turned into a nightmare. Ferguson was on her way from the store when she signaled to merge into a left lane on Van Nuys Blvd. It was all captured on her dashcam. “He pulled in front of me and I thought he was doing it for a laugh,” she remembered. But it seems she upset the driver of a black Honda Civic, who sped past her. At one point the driver swerves then stops in the middle of the road, preventing Ferguson from getting around. He’s seen gesturing her to come forward. Ferguson’s concern then grew when she says she saw the driver reach for something. “If I had pulled up beside him, what would he have done?” Ferguson asked. Ferguson made the fastest turn she could to head home and the driver sped off. She thought it was over. Then, she realized he had followed her home. When her husband retrieved the dashcam video, he was shocked. “He got out of the car, he threw a rock at my wife’s car. I was dumbfounded and angry and shouted and he quickly got in his car and drove off,” Mark Tweddle said. Ferguson still has no idea what she did to cause someone to get so angry, but she’s grateful her kids weren’t in the car and her husband was home. She worries now if the driver could do this to her, who could be next? “It was me yesterday,” she said. “There will be someone else tomorrow. There may even be someone else today.” The LAPD is investigating the case.

Only On 2: Woman Terrorized By Driver Who Follows Her Home, Throws Rock At Car
RYE BROOK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A big rig was ripped apart with more than half its metal exterior torn off when a driver tried to squeeze through a highway overpass in Westchester County. It’s a problem drivers and officials alike say is all too common, particularly on the Hutchinson River Parkway. The driver of the truck tried to hide his face on Monday as he blamed his partner, who was navigating on a smartphone instead of a commercial GPS. “He sent me down this road,” the driver exclaimed. “This was the result of him sending me down this road right here.” His partner deflected the blame back onto the driver. “He knows he made a mistake,” said Cardell Talton of Atlas Moving. “As a driver you go to school for stuff like this, you should know what signs to look for to know we shouldn’t be on this road.” The men were driving a moving truck from Delaware to Connecticut when they struck the King Street Bridge. A sign says the clearance is nine feet, six inches, but the truck the men were in stands more than 11 feet tall. “It was very loud, bumping up in the air,” said Talton. “Hit my head on the ceiling.” The roof of the truck peeled open like a sardine can. Pieces struck a passenger vehicle driven by a Connecticut woman. She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Every Parkway entrance has signs advising “Passenger Cars Only.” Some points also have detection systems to alert drivers if they’re over-height. Still, trucks repeatedly wander onto the Hutch where they strike bridges and snarl traffic. It’s happened in the Bronx on June 27th and in Pelham on June 12th. Westchester County Executive George Latimer says enough is enough, and is holding a summit on Friday. He says he’ll be demanding action from the trucking industry and the state Department of Transportation. “It’s not one thing that we need to do,” said Latimer. “It’s multiple things that we need to do because there are multiple reasons why drivers miss what information is out there already.” Charges against the driver were still pending late Monday, while his employer faced a big bill. A tow truck company owner tells CBS2’s Tony Aiello the average cost for removing a truck from a scene similar to Monday’s is around $30,000.
