MALIBU, CA — One lane of Pacific Coast Highway will be closed most of Tuesday as crews work on the city's Traffic Signal Synchronization Project.

One southbound lane of PCH will be closed at Topanga Canyon Boulevard from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday.

The work is part of a project that will see all the traffic signals synchronized on the eight-mile section of PCH between John Tyler Drive and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Planned improvements include new CCTV cameras at each intersection, the replacement of existing signal poles, street improvements, ADA upgrades, sensors and changeable message signs.

"The project is the City's largest effort to date to improve traffic mobility and safety on PCH," reads a statement from the city.
