Caltrans crews reopened the 3.6-mile stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard Sunday night running from Pacific Coast Highway to Grand View Drive, in the Topanga community, that had been closed this weekend for repairs.
That stretch of state Route 27 was closed early Saturday to allow crews to install an 84-inch reinforced concrete pipe underneath the north-south artery designed to increase capacity to carry water and mud during rain storms and reduce the amount of debris flow onto the roadway.
The transportation agency has plans to install more sections of concrete pipe under the mountainous roadway, and states that the boulevard remains an active work zone that will be closed to the public from midnight to 5 a.m. daily, including Sunday night into Monday morning.
During such times, crews will utilize one-way traffic control with a pilot car.
