A stretch of the Angeles Crest Highway will be closed indefinitely as crews evaluate damage and begin repairs after a period of heavy rain, Caltrans said.
The closed section of the highway is approximately 30 miles long and starts 3.3 miles east of Newcomb’s Ranch and ends at Big Pines Highway.
The transportation department said the stretch of the highway was closed after the rain earlier in the week caused landslides, rockfalls and slope erosion.
Roughly 40 locations along the highway have been marked for repair, Caltrans said.
Crews are expected to work on projects such as installing k-rail around washed-out shoulders and roadways, repairing eroded slopes and embankments beneath the roadway and providing appropriate erosion control measures to prevent further damage.
Officials encouraged motorists to plan ahead and avoid the area during the repairs.
