Officials hope the hillsides along Topanga Canyon Boulevard will hold up during this Easter storm after landslides blocked the roadway a few weeks ago.
'I live in Woodland Hills pretty much at the base of Topanga Canyon,' Gabby Fabrocini, who works nearby, said. 'Typically, it would be a quick 25 minutes up the canyon. Now, it's more like 35+ minutes.'The hillsides first came down on March 9 during a heavy rain storm. Since then, Caltrans said a crack had been discovered in the hillside, and geologists sensed some movement on Thursday. 'The hillside is unstable still,' Caltrans spokesman Jim Medina said.
'I'm so sad the weather is going to be terrible this weekend,' she said. 'I heard today was my only day to get outside when I have a day off. So, I love coming outside and getting some sunshine before the weekend.'Road work along the Pacific Coast Highway is slated to continue until May, but one traffic lane will be closed.
