The road was expected to reopen Friday but with rain slowing the work, Caltrans officials extended the closure until Monday.

MALIBU, CA -- A stretch of Decker Road in Malibu that has been closed for a week for emergency storm repairs will remain blocked until next Monday, Caltrans officials said Tuesday.
The stretch of Decker about one mile north of Pacific Coast Highway closed at 6 a.m. Jan. 31 and was first expected to reopen last Friday, but it was then extended until Tuesday morning.
But with rain slowing the work and more material still needing to be removed from hillsides, Caltrans officials said the closure is being extended until 6 a.m. Monday.
