Officials decided to delay the full reopening of Pacific Coast Highway to prevent looting in fire-damaged neighborhoods.
Pacific Coast Highway is set to reopen Monday, but travel will be reduced to one lane in each direction between McClure Tunnel and Carbon Beach Terrace with the speed reduced to 25 mph.Returning Palisades residents must obtain an access pass by checking in with law enforcement at the Lot 3 Beach Access, 1150 Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica. Private contractors hired by residents are also being permitted into the burn area, but will also need access passes.
"I want to reiterate that this opening is for residents and their families to resume their lives, and local only traffic is highly encouraged. With reduced lanes and speeds, it will be slow," she added. "The Sheriff's Department will be at elevated staffing with highly visible patrols along PCH and into neighborhoods."We will protect our communities from anyone seeking to prey on them with every resource at our disposal.
