Expect Delays On PCH Tuesday And Wednesday

MALIBU, CA — The State Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) will be partially closed Wednesday and Thursday as part of a massive retaining wall project.

PCH will be reduced to one lane with alternating traffic from Deer Creek Road to Sycamore Canyon Road. The closure will last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. Bicyclists are advised to avoid the area as construction will block the bicycle lanes on PCH.

The closure is part of a $51 million California Department of Transportation project to restore eroded barriers on PCH between the road and the ocean. The erosion has caused cracks on the roadway shoulder, according to CalTrans.

The project has already caused closures and is expected to be complete in spring 2023.
