The Central Coast community of Big Sur has been split in two for more than a month now. Along Highway 1 there are active mudslides to the south and to the north a condemned bridge has been demolished. A replacement isn't expected for another six months. In the meantime, locals stuck in between are counting on a new hiking trail to get them in and out.
