Topanga Canyon Boulevard May Not Reopen For Months: Report

TOPANGA, CA — Topanga Canyon Boulevard may not fully reopen for several months as crews continue to work to repair damage caused by recent storms, according to a report.

The Malibu Times reported that Caltrans has created a one-lane road through the most badly damaged stretch of the road, which is about two miles north of Pacific Coast Highway. Essential travel is prioritized in that area, including school bus access.

“We have about nine different places where there are slides and three different locations that require retaining walls,” Caltrans spokeswoman Lauren Wonder said. “Our goal over the next two and a half to three months is to clear the slides and restore two-way traffic control up to the point where the road has actually slipped out.”
