The city reported that storm-related closures were lifted on a stretch of the highway that is vulnerable to landslides.
DANA POINT, CA — Coast Highway was reopened in Dana Point Wednesday afternoon, after heavy rains and extensive cleanup efforts to clear the roadway of storm-caused debris closed the popular through street starting Tuesday morning.
As of 4 p.m., the City of Dana Point reported that Coast Highway was open in both directions from Palisades to Camino Capistrano.
This particular stretch of Coast Highway has already seen several closures since the beginning of the year. The closures, authorities say, have been caused by storm-related landslides littering debris across the highway.
