A landslide south of the Rocky Creek Bridge has closed Highway 1, the California Highway Patrol reports on its website.

Northbound lanes are closed at the Bixby Bridge and southbound travelers are being stopped at Palo Colorado, the website says.

About 40 feet of roadway is "washed out," the CHP reports.

The slide was reported just after 5 p.m.

The CHP reports that the highway could be closed "potentially several days if not longer."

No one was injured, the CHP said.
