Caltrans Closes Lane on PCH in Malibu for Rock Slide Mitigation, Delays Expected

Commuters traversing the scenic routes of Malibu, take note. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has mandated the closure of one northbound lane along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), specifically from Corral Canyon Road to Latigo Canyon Road. The announced shutdown is expected to endure for approximately two weeks as crews perform necessary rock slide mitigation, as reported by

FOX LA

.

This directive is in response to an accumulation of fallen debris and rocks in an area previously struck by a mudslide last February. Caltrans has installed a rock fence and k-rails as a precautionary measure, according to the

City of Malibu

. However, more soil and stone have recently descended against these barriers, prompting further action. Commuters are advised to anticipate delays, as the lane will be sealed off even after dusk to ensure public safety.

In a detailed report by

FOX LA

, it’s stated that the one northbound lane will remain accessible during the clearance of slide debris and loose rocks, which will be conducted throughout the daytime. The southbound traffic on PCH appears to remain unimpacted by these repairs.
