Highway 1 from Cambria, CA north to Big Sur will reopen on July 20, 2018. The reconstruction of Hwy. 1 through the massive Mud Slide area is almost done, enough, to soon reopen Hwy. 1 to through traffic south of Big Sur. Hwy.1 has a reopening date - 547 days after you could last drive the coast to Big Sur
I'll want to take a drive to check it out.
