Traffic signal improvements for Pacific Coast Highway
Construction to install adaptive light controls on Pacific Coast Highway between the McClure Tunnel in Santa Monica and Topanga Canyon Boulevard will be taking place nightly from now until October.
Construction activities are scheduled nightly Sunday through Friday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Intermittent lane closures will be limited to one lane in each direction. Motorists are advised to expect delays during construction hours.
Work is currently taking place on a two-mile portion of northbound Pacific Coast Highway from the McClure Tunnel to Temescal Canyon Road.
The California Department of Transportation will install adaptive signal controls at various locations along a twenty-mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway from the McClure Tunnel in Santa Monica to Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Malibu. Adaptive signal controls allow Caltrans to automatically adjust signal timing based upon real time traffic flow.
“Temporary No Parking” signs will be posted during construction. Use of the street and access to properties will not be impacted.
Work is expected to be completed by October.
