The Pacific Coast Highway reopened Monday, nearly a month after it was closed when flames from the deadly Palisades Fire ripped through hillside Los Angeles neighborhoods, destroying properties all the way down to the beach.

The Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, partially reopened on Monday, for the first time since fires tore through neighborhoods, destroying homes and businesses.

PCH's closure has severely disrupted local transportation networks and emergency response capabilities across Los Angeles County.

The stretch of the highway along the Pacific Ocean between Santa Monica and Malibu reopened to regular traffic. Some local officials believe it is too soon.

Just a day after fully reopening for the first time in weeks, Pacific Coast Highway will close again Tuesday in anticipation of back-to-back storms set to roll through Southern California that could potentially cause landslides in areas recently burned by the Palisades Fire.
