PCH was shut down in both directions while crews worked to clear the debris, and 2nd closure is making things even more difficult.
Pacific Coast Highway was closed in both directions early Monday, March 11, 2024, at Big Rock Drive in Malibu due to a rock and mud slide. One lane was opened later in the morning, with vehicles alternating in each direction. Traffic was snarled on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on Monday due to a mud and rock slide that blocked both sides of the roadway.
The slide was reported about 11:30 p.m. Sunday on PCH at Big Rock Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol. The road was shut down in both directions while Caltrans crews worked to clear the debris. The result was a frustrating morning commute as drivers sought alternate routes. Further confounding motorists was the simultaneous closure of Topanga Canyon Boulevard from PCH to Grand View Drive, also due to a rockslide, eliminating another major thoroughfare in the area.
One lane was reopened about 9 a.m. Monday, with traffic alternating in each direction, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported.
