Nearly six months after wildfires erupted in Southern California, closing the Pacific Coast Highway in Los Angeles and burning thousands of acres, the iconic West Coast highway has reopened to the public.

An iconic Southern California stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, closed to outsiders since January’s devastating Palisades Fire, will reopen today in advance of the travel-heavy Memorial Day

The reopening of an 11-mile stretch of highway will offer greater access to Malibu and Pacific Palisades and marks a key step forward in fire recovery efforts.
