MALIBU—On Sunday, February 2, the city of Malibu announced that Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu and unincorporated portions of the County is now open for regular traffic, as of 8 a.m. PCH is open one lane in each direction.
Motorists should be prepared for extreme traffic delays and intermittent closures in the area as ongoing recovery efforts continue. Expect checkpoints on PCH in Los Angeles on February 2, as this area is still restricted to Pacific Palisades residents only.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol, and Caltrans HQ are implementing the following measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our community:
-Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station will maintain increased patrols in the burn areas.
-Caltrans will be onsite to assist with traffic flow and minimize disruptions.
-Caltrans and Los Angeles County Public Works will monitor PCH for any roadway hazards.
-The City’s parking services team will maintain a frequent presence in neighborhoods to support law enforcement in monitoring for public safety.
Safety is the top priority, and the city is committed to working together to keep our community secure as we navigate these recovery efforts.
