Trancas Canyon Bridge Construction Reduces Speed Limit In Malibu
The speed limit remains at 30 miles per hour on the Pacific Coast Highway near the new bridge construction with fines increased.
MALIBU, CA — Work on Trancas Canyon Bridge continues in Malibu, meaning speed limit changes still stand on state Route 1, the Pacific Coast Highway.
The speed limit has been reduced to 30 miles per hour on PCH near Trancas Canyon Road with speeding fines doubled. A temporary traffic signal and pedestrian crossing was installed at PCH and Guernsey Avenue. Pile driving will occur on PCH between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
"The work is expected to be very noisy, although within the limits specified in the project. Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists should proceed with caution, and watch for vehicles, equipment staging, workers, dust, lights, signs in the road and shoulder, and unplanned temporary lane and shoulder closures," the city of Malibu said in a news release.

The California Department of Transportation started the project in March to ultimately replace the 96-year-old Trancas Creek Bridge. Constructed is expected to finish in summer 2024. Closures started in June when the bridge was demolished.
