Was thinking about going with my ole lady on this from LA to SF, but it looks like part of the highway is closed due a landslide.

If you pick out a couple of points along the highway on Google Maps ( LINK), it looks like it's blocked off for a good part of it. A few articles are suggesting the bridge re-opens in September. Should we wait until next year, or is it still worth going?

We went last year when it was closed right outside Big Sur and thought it was still worth it. We drove from Carmel to Big Sur Roadhouse for lunch.

I’ll be out there in a couple of weeks and was trying to figure out how if getting to Big Sur was worth it before turning around and driving to Napa. Perhaps I’ll postpone it until my next trip

Some of it is gone. I drove last summer from SF to Santa Cruz. I like that stretch quite a bit.

I'll be making the drive in Aug. from the Olympic Peninsula to San Luis Obispo. According to Pacific-Coast-Highway-Travel.com: "The One Closed Section of Highway 1 is Scheduled to Reopen by the End of July 2018".
Good news.
