Stretch Of PCH Shut By Mudslides Is Reopening
MALIBU (CBSLA.com) — A 9-mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway is being reopened Thursday, four days after three mudslides forced its closure.
Officials say the northbound lanes of State Route 1 between Las Posas Road and Yerba Buena Road have reopened while barriers were being removed from the southbound lanes as of 5 p.m.
On Sunday, a brief but powerful storm caused at least three feet of mud to come down in some areas, which forced about a dozen drivers to ditch their cars after getting stuck in the debris.
