CALABASAS, CA — Las Virgenes Road will remain closed between Lost Hills Road and Mulholland Highway throughout Monday as crews continue repairs following a water main break, according to officials.
Crews were still working Monday morning to complete repairs to the damaged pipe, with that work expected to wrap up during the morning. Roadway repairs will follow, and the closure is expected to remain in place for the rest of the day, Malibu city officials said.
Updated traffic signs were being placed Monday morning to warn drivers about the closure and direct them to alternate routes.
The water main break began Sunday evening in the Calabasas area, sending water gushing from the roadway and backing up traffic, KTLA reported.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced around 6:30 p.m. Sunday that Las Virgenes Road would be closed between Mulholland Highway and Lost Hills Road for several hours, according to KTLA. Los Angeles County Public Works crews responded to repair the break.
