Major Traffic Delays Expected On PCH In Malibu This Week

MALIBU, CA – Major delays will likely be caused on Pacific Coast Highway this week due to construction projects in Malibu. Crews installing a new traffic light have Caltrans permits to close westbound PCH – also called Route 1 North – from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday.

Eastbound PCH – Route 1 South – is set to get the same treatment on Tuesday, according to a joint news release from Caltrans and the City of Malibu.

The work is being done just east of the Malibu Pier. When similar traffic controls were in effect in late March, 35 minute delays developed at times.

At other times, PCH traffic has been delayed by temporary traffic signals installed for a road widening project in Malibu's commercial center.

The two-month widening project will snarl traffic through June 1, the city said.
