City Releases More Details On Massive PCH Construction
Written by 991KBU on March 8, 2018
If it seems like every day this week there is a major development in road construction … there is.
First .. the City of Malibu is filling in some of the details on the huge P C H widening and reconstruction project … underway at the Civic Center.
Construction starts next week … as the highway is being widened to accommodate commercial development at the Civic Center area.
This spring … twin left turn lanes will be installed on PCH eastbound … at Webb Way.
The four way stop sign at Civic Center Way at Webb Way will be replaced with a new traffic light … and Webb Way will be widened to six lanes.
And a right turn lane will be installed on PCH westbound … by the Shell gas station at Cross Creek Road.
This is required by the city … so that four new shopping centers have adequate access and don’t clog P C H.
That’s the theory.
Widening the coast highway at Cross Creek will put an end to the heavily-used bike shoulder lanes on the side of the road.
The city has not estimated how adding thousands of bicycles into the traffic flow will affect traffic flow … or safety.
City manager Reva Feldman says the work on P C H will be finished by Memorial Day … and the total reconstruction and widening of Webb Way will be done the week after that … by June First.
