The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is clearing properties south of Las Flores Canyon Road through Friday, July 25.

For the safety of workers and the traveling public, southbound PCH will be reduced to one lane between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays at these locations. Northbound PCH will be reduced to one lane between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, this stretch of PCH will be reduced to one lane between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. in both directions.
Caltrans reminds the public that the speed limit is 25 mph in this area of PCH and traffic fines can be doubled in a work zone. Drivers should use caution in the area and slow down and be alert for workers
The section of PCH from Santa Monica to Malibu reopened to the motoring public on May 23 and remains an active work zone as Caltrans, USACE and various contractors complete recovery work. PCH had been closed for five months following the Palisades Fire and winter storms that brought flooding and debris flows to the area.
