The Pacific Coast Highway has reopened nearly a month after being closed due to the devastating Palisades Fire that swept through hillside Los Angeles neighborhoods, causing destruction all the way to the beach. The scenic shoreline route resumed traffic at 8 a.m. with limited speed and one lane in each direction from Santa Monica northwest to the Ventura County line.
Los Angeles County Supervisor emphasized that only essential traffic is encouraged at this time as cleanup and utility repairs are still ongoing. Proof-of-residence or entry passes are required to enter the Palisades burn zone.
