California will now mark part of Highway 46 in San Luis Obispo County as James Dean Memorial Highway. The late actor and Hollywood icon died in an accident there 71 years ago.

The stretch of road from the Cholame Y interchange to Highway 33 has reopened with one lane in each direction.

The closure of Highway 1 near Big Sur has cost Central Coast communities hundreds of millions of dollars in tourism spending.

On the eve of International Workers Day, or May Day, Caltrans remembered Central Coast road maintenance workers who lost their lives on the job.

Santa Barbara County will develop an AI-powered map that helps cyclists identify safe routes in the region. Caltrans awarded the county a nearly $500,000 grant to develop the map with UC Santa Barbara.

A portion of a popular highway in Santa Barbara County has completely shut down due to large cracks that were found along the roadway.

Residents of San Luis Obispo County are now able to travel up to Big Sur thanks to a reopening of Highway 1.

Traveling by train on the Central Coast could soon get easier thanks to a million dollars in funding from the federal government.

Caltrans says crews have successfully fixed a sinkhole that caused the closure of a section of Highway 1 in Big Sur this week. The southern closure has now been moved back to Limekiln State Park.

There is ongoing work on Central Coast highways right now, both to repair winter storm damage and to make general improvements.
