Pacific Coast Highway reopened early Monday after being closed for weeks due to the Palisades fire and related debris flows. Only one lane in each direction is open, with a speed limit of 25 mph and no parking. Significant damage occurred, with 23,400 acres burned and 6,800 structures destroyed. Access to the affected Palisades neighborhoods remains restricted to residents and authorized contractors, with checkpoints in place. Ongoing tensions over these restrictions were noted, as local authorities prioritize safety and recovery efforts.
We continue to adapt in real time to this dynamic situation. This plan secures the Palisades and eases the strain on LAPD, whose ability to respond across L.A. has been impacted for nearly one month.
Access to Palisades neighborhoods remains restricted to residents and authorized contractors who have passes, according to Mayor Karen Bass' office.
