LA County Fully Reopens Tuna Canyon Road near Malibu

SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS (May 23, 2025) — Los Angeles County Public Works will reopen Tuna Canyon Rd. in the Santa Monica Mountains on Friday, May 23 at 8 a.m. The scenic canyon road was closed in January during the Palisades Fire.

Reopening comes as the State lifts the closure of Pacific Coast Highway in time for Memorial Day Weekend—nearly a week ahead of schedule. Drivers using Tuna Canyon Rd will only be allowed to make a right turn to access PCH.

The County of Los Angeles urges all drivers to exercise caution when traveling mountain roads and other fire-affected areas. These communities are still undergoing post-fire debris removal and other maintenance activities.  LA County Public Works crews will continue to monitor local streets to support the safety and accessibility of roadways throughout the region.
