California’s Famous Highway Is Now COLLAPSING Into The Sea!
California's Pacific Coast Highway ranks among America's most breathtaking routes. stretching over 650 miles, this highway has always been an engineering marvel, as it runs along perilous cliffs. from its inception, constructing this road was a highly complex endeavour, with some people doubting if it could ever be accomplished. As expected, the construction of the roadway was extremely expensive, costing billions of dollars. But for decades since its opening, this highway has struggled to make it through a single year without any road closures due to landslides. When such incidents occur, unfortunately, large sections of the highway are lost, and each year, the state spends millions of dollars to patch up the road in a bid to save the highway. Today let’s delve into the story of the iconic American highway that is now falling into the sea.

Also, at 2:38, have we switched to Great Britain?

Seems as though it is time to admit defeat, as painful as that is in this instance, and stop throwing good money after bad. That same annual expenditure could surely be better spent on all of the climate adaptation measures urgently needed elsewhere throughout the State. I think that the State of California needs to commission an independent cost benefit analysis, comparing the economic benefits, especially from tourism, against the ongoing repair bills, and see if it is financially worth it. At some point, my guess is that the road will have to be abandoned anyway on purely practical grounds.

I have never known a time when Hwy 1 wasn't falling off a cliff or something overhead not tumbling down on the highway, so yes, they knew all along that this would be an ongoing fix-it project. However, if you have never driven this hunk of asphalt and you can take a little time (off season), it is an amazing drive! It is on my bucket list to get a Miata with a strong heater, a manual gearbox, pop the ragtop and take a drive. Who knows, when I was last on it, life was still in black & white--things change. Maybe it would require a midnight drive or I'd likely face people dawdling ahead of me in rental cars they do not know how to drive. PCH requires no traffic, the ability to spin the RPMs shifting up and down the gears with good tunes out of an acceptable sound system and laughing like a pirate. Well, one man's opinion.

One of the problems with relying on AI narration and not monitoring it: regional names get mispronounced in predictable ways. Carmel-by-the-Sea in Monterey County on the Central Coast is known as Carmel -- but not pronounced like the candy. It's "car-MEL", not "CAR-mul". Like many Californian towns and cities, it was founded by Spanish colonists (in 1797) and had a Spanish name, in this case there was a Catholic Mission called Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo. Borromeo was the Archbishop of Milan, Italy, in the latter 16th century. So we have an English interpretation of a Spanish interpretation of an Italian town. Of course it's going to be idiosyncratic and require someone presenting an historical overview to keep on top of such details.

Eh, its along hillsides and cliffs. There have always been occasional slumps & landslides. Also the most active faults are farther inland. You guys are making more out of it than there is. We have less used roads through canyons in the Sierras that have the same problems and we just bulldoze the slides & fix any subsidence there too. You have to drive up sand canyon to get to Lake Isabella. You should see the boulders that have fallen onto the road & the river below on the other side. And there are the highways from the central valley through the mountains to the coast. There is also the grapevine through the mountains to Los Angeles. Any road that is not perfectly flat has these same maintenance issues & California is a mountainous state.

Here is a wild idea, don't build roads were they should not be!!

@georgecurtis6463 3 месяца назад

The reason it continues to be maintained is because it produces way more tourist dollars than it does to maintain it.

@cre8tvedge 3 месяца назад

Agreed. And no one is building roads on Mars or the heights of the Himalayas or for that matter the peaks of the Sierra Nevada range - all places they shouldn't be.

I used to commute San Francisco to LA a couple of times a month, for several years. Whenever possible, I took Highway 1. An utterly magical experience; its beauty has to be experienced to be believed. Sometimes I had to divert inland to US 101 or Interstate 5, but only when time or rockslides made that necrssary. I hope it can be mainained long term, but have my doubts. Drive it while you can!

@stephenpahl7538 3 месяца назад

the coast highway has been falling since it was built (example - 1984 Big Sur -150 landslides in 1 night w/ one being 1000 ft high and taking over a year to clear). Everyone loves it, so it ain't going to disappear for a long time, it will be repair as needed and thats it.. Insanity ? - Hell the whole world insane so no big deal. anyone who thinks otherwise is "Sane" and thats really scary

@jumperstartful 3 месяца назад

i think the problem is the cost to maintain. make it a toll road to offset the cost.

Pretty good, very important. Same old story any time humans come up with shortcuts against Nature. I don't know if a real human is narrating this, but they sure need to brush up on their pronunciation of quite a few words in the doc.

This is easily my favorite road in America. I have seen the ocean washing over the highway near Santa Barbara and Pismo Beach. I hope they don't underestimate the value of that road. Fix it!

Opening new highways is sexy for politicians. Maintenance not so much. It's not a surprise that such a difficult road at that lengths causes a lot if annual work and cost.

@vincentgarzoli3197 3 месяца назад

That, and it has become a Sacramento tradition to rob the supposedly untouchable highway funds for the politicians latest pet project, or to cover general budget deficits. As with many of our problems in California, poor road maintenance is man-made due to piss-poor planning and decision making.

There is no connection to "climate change" and those coastal hillsides collapsing! It was always unstable soil of soft 'sand stones' and the ocean is not 'rising' either. Just deal with it and keep fixing it as it goes. Millions of tourists and astronomical gas taxes we Californians are paying should cover it.

@garyblue8637 3 месяца назад

Amazing it doesn't happen more often. If you ever stopped your car. got out and looked up and saw what could possibly come crashing down on the highway, you are truly brave to use this highway. Sheer 500ft cliffs with loose boulders enough to give the bravest butterflies. If nature wants you dead, this WILL get the job done.

@billwalt9026 3 месяца назад

I've lived in Big Sur in the 1970's for three years and the road was washed out ever so often. As years went on, I would return to take up short term rentals from old friends wanting a vacation in the winter months, the rainy months. Which invariable would have a wash out from the Rains coming in off the Pacific. From small slides needing a few days to repair... to ones that took months to repair, and the stranded longer stay made it a longer drive for supplies. We've got to be thankful for all the hard work and money put put for this roads care. The few who live there and the natural beauty if gives know the tough times. The views give one a sense of God, Heaven and the Divine for such beauty causes one to wonder about God any God

This blaming the landslides on climate change is weak. You mention "rising sea level". There is no evidence that rising seas have caused any land slides on the coast🎉. The seas have risen only 8 inches in a century! So, that part is bs. The primary reason for these landslides is simply poor engineering and continued patching after a landslide occurs; as opposed to reviewing the entire road for weak engineered sections and making appropriate repairs. Allowing the saturation if hillsides, the failure to reinforce uncompacted soil areas, the prevalence of loose gravel and unstable rock formations are all fixable BEFORE a slide occurs, but takes more than a will to patch areas already sliding. It is simply a failure of state government to focus on a permanent fix instead wasting billions on a fast rail system that has gone no where! These are man made slides, not natural disasters. Soil compacton testing, rain runoff management, tunneling where appropriate , driving piles and erecting retaining walls are all solutions that need to be imp,emended...proactively!

@davelindgren5245 3 месяца назад

Can't imagine building that road with the equipment they had at the time. Took him 6 minutes to say the words "climate change". That is an improvement over most of his videos. Personally, I think the next ice age is going to take it out.

@Sur5r1 3 месяца назад

Is it taking this long to figure out that it isn't working and to stop spending all that money on reconstruction? It isn't road maintenance anymore; it's wasteful spending. Create other routes on more stable ground, leaving safer stretches still available for ocean views. Is it worth putting people's lives in danger for a view they can see elsewhere on the same road? Several landslides in the same area should tell anyone that this isn't a safe design anymore. Let nature reclaim it.

@Idaho900 3 месяца назад

I'm getting tired of hearing this climate change.How do you think those mountains were made. That highway was built on slide, which was wating to happen. But if anyone knows california, they love to run on the idea of climate change.

@reneeubry9065 3 месяца назад

Stop blaming landslides on climate change! The climate isn’t that severe and every other place has its challenges too. You don’t have mud season when there is a Spring thaw and when you have wild fires that burn off the plants that hold the soil plant some thing ASAP to keep down the erosion so the soil will be stable. Manzanita burns very hot and shades the ground so it isn’t that good for ground cover so it needs other things to help it hold the soil.

@antomano5623 3 месяца назад

when will you make a video about the northern portion of Hwy 101 from SF to Oregon? Oh- and dont forget all the landslides on the Oregon coast.

We're all gonna dye..... while you are contemplating all of this, look up Last Chance Grade, a section of US 101 in Del Norte County, which has experienced decades of soil failures and they keep fixing it.
