Palisades residents and contractors will be able to access homes via Chautauqua Boulevard with passes
LOS ANGELES – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) today announced that in anticipation of predicted rain, PCH will be closed to the public on Tuesday, Feb. 4 between Chautauqua Boulevard in Los Angeles to Carbon Beach Terrace in Malibu, with Palisades residents still able to access their homes via Chautauqua Boulevard with their resident passes.
The closure will remain in effect at least until Friday, Caltrans officials said, when their geotechnical engineers will assess the slopes and canyons to inform the decision whether to reopen PCH to the public.
Slopes made bare by the recent fires are at increased risk for mud and debris flow, and soft soils could make the roadway more susceptible to damage.
