Caltrans crews have closed the 3.6-mile stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard/State Route 27 (SR-27) between Pacific Coast Highway and Grand View Drive this morning until further notice due to a slide in the canyon at postmile 1.2.
The closure is to protect the public from serious injuries and fatalities. As Caltrans works to restore the road, it will maintain access for emergency responders. Crews are also monitoring the recovery work zone on State Route 1/Pacific Coast Highway, but there are no impacts at this time.
This stretch of SR-27 is an active work zone for ongoing recovery efforts from the Palisades Fire and winter storms. It is currently closed to the public from midnight to 5 a.m. daily.
Crews took precautions Monday to prepare for the storm by moving equipment, placing k-rail and sandbags and stabilizing current retaining wall and other project work on SR-27 as well as Pacific Coast Highway recovery projects following the Palisades Fire and storms.
Motorists are advised to take alternate routes and expect delays. Check current traffic conditions on the Caltrans Quickmap. Caltrans will also post updates to its social media pages.
