MALIBU—On Monday, January 5, the city of Malibu posted on its Facebook page that Topanga Canyon Boulevard has reopened from Grandview to Pacific Coast Highway.
Topanga Canyon Boulevard reopened from Grand View Drive to Pacific Coast Highway following a closure due to rainstorms, rockfall and debris flows. The highway reopened shortly after 11:30 a.m. Monday after workers finished clearing debris flows and rockfall from weekend rainstorms.
Caltrans closed the highway just before midnight on Friday night ahead of expected storms for safety.
The stretch of Topanga Canyon 27 is now reopened to the public with previous restrictions. It remains an active work zone for ongoing recovery efforts from the Palisades Fire and winter storms. It is closed from midnight to 5 a.m. daily and has traffic restrictions including a one-way traffic control section south of the Topanga town center, and a 25 MPH speed limit, no parking, no stopping and no pedestrians allowed in the work zones.
Expect delays and drive cautiously, watching for workers and work vehicles. Fines can be doubled in a work zone.
