The Pacific Coast Highway is back open in Malibu, California, nearly a month after the deadly Palisades Fire ripped through hillside Los Angeles neighborhoods, destroying properties all the way down to the beach. Traffic along the scenic shoreline route began moving again Monday with just one lane in each direction and limited speed from Santa Monica northwest to the Ventura County line. Cleanup and utility repairs continue, and proof-of-residence or entry passes are still required to enter the Palisades burn zone. Rain is in the forecast starting Tuesday, and the highway will be monitored for hazards including mud and debris flows.
