MALIBU, CA — The California Department of Transportation will close one lane of Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) from Deer Creek Road to Sycamore Canyon Road weekday mornings this month, according to Caltrans.

The closure, which started Tuesday, will happen every weekday morning between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Caltrans is installing steel mesh netting along the hillside to prevent falling rocks and mudslides from affecting traffic.

Drivers should expect delays, Caltrans said. On Tuesday, the closure had not caused significant traffic in the area by 9:35 a.m.
