MORE PCH PAVING PROJECT CLOSURES SCHEDULED

The California Department of Transportation will close one lane of Pacific Coast Highway in alternating directions from Malibu to the McClure Tunnel on Thursday, Aug. 21, and Friday, Aug. 22. from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. The reason for the closures is work involving pavement markings and striping. The closures are related to the $7 million, 11.6-mile paving project from Malibu Lagoon Bridge to the McClure Tunnel that consists of removing existing concrete pavement and replacing it with rubberized asphalt concrete, including removing and replacing raised pavement markers, traffic striping and markings; adjusting manhole cover heights; and modifying loop detectors (speed sensors embedded in the roadway). The project is currently expected to be completed this fall.
