California transportation officials are scrambling to shore up a storm-damaged section of Pacific Coast Highway north of Malibu before more rain arrives Feb. 18, forcing the state to indefinitely close the roadway nightly in both directions.
The closures will allow state Department of Transportation (Caltrans) workers to install concrete barriers and move lanes away from the freeway’s eroded ocean side, while the California Department of Transportation comes up with a more permanent fix.
