MALIBU, CA — Caltrans will close one lane in each direction on Pacific Coast Highway between the Malibu Lagoon Bridge and Coral Canyon Road starting Monday at 8 p.m.

The closures will occur between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. every weeknight starting Monday and will continue indefinitely as part of a pavement project. Delays are expected through the duration of the project.

Caltrans Public Information Officer Eric Menjivar said these routine repairs are expected to be finished by the end of the year, potentially spanning into early 2022. He said the maintenance is important considering the amount of traffic PCH attracts.
