Rain-caused mudslides prompted a temporary closure of Pacific Coast Highway in the Palisades fire burn scar area on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nPCH was closed from Sweetwater Canyon Road east of Malibu to Chautauqua Boulevard east of Pacific Palisades, the Caltrans Quickmap said Saturday night.<\/p>\n
There was a good amount of mud that needed to be cleared at Tuna Canyon Road west of Highway 27, Caltrans said.
\nPCH was expected to reopen Sunday at 6 a.m. to soft-closure conditions caused by the Palisades fire, meaning it would reopen to residents with burn scar passes, contractors, emergency responders and designated buses.<\/p>\n
