Part of California’s famed Pacific Coast Highway is covered in dirt and rocks after a landslide covered the highway near Big Sur.
Many believe that PCH is one of the country's most scenic drives in the country, but more than a million tons of dirt has buried between a quarter to a third of a mile of California State Route 1 in about 35 feet of dirt, CNN reported.
The landslide also fell into the ocean.
The highway has been closed, and officials are not sure when it will reopen.
No one was injured in the landslide. Officials had closed the highway before the slide because crews had been trying to remove dirt from an earlier slide. Work had been stopped, and equipment had been removed before this weekend's slide because of threats of more landslides, CNN reported.
