Caltrans crews will close a 3.6-mile stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard/State Route 27 (SR-27) between Pacific Coast Highway and Grand View Drive two hours early at 10 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13 until 5 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 in advance of predicted rainstorms. 
This stretch of highway is an active work zone for ongoing recovery efforts from the Palisades Fire and winter storms. It is currently closed to the public from midnight to 5 a.m. daily.
Crews have taken additional precautions Monday to prepare for the storm by moving equipment, placing k-rail and sandbags and stabilizing current retaining wall and other project work on SR-27 as well as Pacific Coast Highway recovery projects following the Palisades Fire and storms. Caltrans will continue to monitor the situation into the morning and evaluate reopening SR-27 at 5 a.m., depending on the amount of rain falling.
The National Weather Service has predicted up to 1.5 inches of rain in the coasts/valleys and 2 to 4 inches in the foothills and mountains, 30-55 mph wind gusts and a chance of thunderstorms. Peak timing for rain in the burn scar areas in Los Angeles County is 2 a.m. to noon Tuesday. 
Motorists are advised to plan for extra travel time and avoid driving in rainstorms when possible. Expect delays, drive with caution and always turn on headlights in the rain.
Check current traffic conditions on the Caltrans Quickmap. Caltrans will also post updates to its social media pages.
