The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) today announced a 55-hour full closure of Topanga Canyon Blvd. (State Route 27) between Malibu and Topanga this weekend for emergency repair and restoration to an eroded slope embankment along Topanga Creek. The hillside had multiple rock and debris slides onto Topanga Canyon Blvd. this year, triggering full closures of the highway for days.  

On Friday, March 29 at 10 p.m. until Monday, April 1, at 5 a.m., the following closure will be in place: Topanga Canyon Blvd. between Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) and Grand View Dr.

All work is weather permitting and subject to change. 

Signs will be advising motorists to use US-101, Las Virgenes Road, and Malibu Canyon Road as an alternate route. Motorists should expect delays and are strongly advised to use alternate routes or avoid the area. The town of Topanga will remain open to motorists.
