Caltrans will have intermittent closures of all lanes of PCH from Corral Canyon Road to Latigo Canyon Road in Malibu Fri, Nov. 15 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for slope repairs, according to a City of Malibu Alert. Crew members will be loosening rocks on the hillside that may fall to the roadway and will need to be cleared. Motorists can expect about 30-minute traffic delays between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for public safety.



PCH will reopen for traffic in both directions for about 20-minute intervals. Caltrans recommends motorists plan ahead and seek alternate routes, such as U.S. Highway 101, if they must get to a destination at a certain time. Real-time traffic information can be found at http://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/.

A large mudslide occurred at this site during heavy winter rainstorms in February. A rock fence and k-rails were installed as a safety measure but more rocks and dirt recently fell against the barrier. Crews are clearing slide debris and loose rocks on the hillside during daytime hours. Loose rocks present a potential hazard if another slide occurs during winter storms.
