As of 8 p.m, of Dec. 15, all road closures and restrictions in the Franklin Fire area will be lifted; this includes Malibu Canyon.

“We ask that drivers be patient as crews working in the affected areas may have intermittent closures as fire fighters and utility crews work diligently to restore roads and neighborhoods,” the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriffs Station shared on social media.
