A stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard that reopened after Tuesday’s storm was closed against Wednesday due to a mudslide.
Photos posted to Caltrans’ X account showed mud on the canyon road, forcing the closure from Pacific Coast Highway to Grand View Drive.
Caltrans crews reopened the same stretch Tuesday afternoon following a closure due to the possibility of slides during hours of rainfall in Southern California. Minor debris flows were cleared when the road was closed.
The 3.6-mile portion of the canyon road was already part of a work zone that was closed nightly. The work involves recovery from the January Palisades Fire and winter storms that requires nightly closures from midnight to 5 a.m.
Caltrans extended the closure Tuesday due to steady rain.
Parts of Los Angeles County received more than 2 inches of rain from the first storm of the season. The October average for downtown Los Angeles is 0.57 inches of rain.
