Fire and wind conditions have closed several freeways and highways in impacted Southern California areas. Caltrans provided a list of fully closed highways and freeways, as of Wednesday morning.

Closures are due to Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst wildfires, or wind-related incidents.    

Palisades Fire 

  • Southbound PCH closed at Cross Creek Road 
  • Northbound PCH closed at McClure Tunnel 
  • Westbound 1-10, traffic is diverted at Lincoln Boulevard 
  • Topanga Canyon Boulevard closed in both directions between PCH and Muhlholland Drive  

Hurst Fire 

  • Westbound lanes on I-210  are closed at Roxford Street, all traffic diverted off at Roxford. 
  • Eastbound I-210 is closed at I-5. 
  • North and southbound I-5 connectors to eastbound 210 are closed. 
  • I-5 northbound truck lanes are closed to I-210 and State Route 14.  

Eaton Fire 

No closures on state highway at this time 

Azusa 

No fire at this location, but State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Road) is closed as a preventative measure north of Azusa, access only to residents  

Various traffic signals may be out due to winds and power outages. Caltrans reminds drivers that when signals are dark or blinking red, treat them as stop signs. When there is no signal light, treat as an all-way stop.
