California's Pacific Coast Highway was closed in numerous areas in both directions Monday night due to the ferocious storm hitting the state.
PCH was closed in eight different parts of the state Monday night due to factors including flooding, rockfalls, downed power lines and road damage, according to Caltrans.
In Ventura County, a long stretch of highway, from Las Posas Road to Sycamore Canyon Road, is closed after part of the road was washed away due to “storm erosion,” according to Caltrans.
The highway in that area could be closed until 8 a.m. Tuesday and Caltrans recommended that drivers take alternate routes such as Highway 101.
The road was also closed in Huntington Beach from Seapoint Street to Warner Avenue due to flooding.
In San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, the PCH is closed due to flooding and has been washed out in four different areas.
The road is closed in Monterey County due to rockfalls. In Mendocino County, PCH is closed due to downed power lines. Caltrans has more details on current closures.
