Laurel Canyon Boulevard to Reopen This Weekend

LOS ANGELES, CA — All lanes of Laurel Canyon Boulevard are scheduled to be reopened at some point on Saturday or Sunday, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation said Friday.

Laurel Canyon was fully closed on Jan. 11 after a mudslide caused part of a home's foundation and patio to give way.

The southbound lanes were reopened on Jan. 16, but the northbound lanes have remained closed with a detour ever since.

Crews will begin work at 6 a.m. on Saturday to reopen the lanes. Laurel Canyon will be closed southbound at Mulholland Drive to Kirkwood Drive except for local vehicle access only and, southbound from Kirkwood Drive to Gould Avenue for all vehicles.

Little Laurel Canyon will remain open for northbound traffic only.

If crews cannot complete the work on Saturday, they will return on Sunday morning and Laurel Canyon will reopen later that day, LADOT said.
