Devil's Slide Tunnel Project Opening Could Be Delayed, Official Says

A dispute between two water district's over servicing the tunnel, bridge and associated facilities could delay the tunnel's opening, slated for early 2012.

According to a high-ranking North Coast County Water District official, the opening of the Caltrans  under San Pedro Mountain could be delayed due to litigation.

The tunnels, one northbound and one southbound, would bypass the section of Highway 1 that runs along Devil’s Slide and are scheduled to open to traffic in early 2012. Because of a complaint filed by the Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) with the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, over rights to servicing the tunnels and associated facilities, however, they may open at a later date, the official said.
