"Santa Monica's 10 Freeway and PCH Partially Closed for Bluff Repairs"

A crack in the Santa Monica bluffs above Pacific Coast Highway has prompted city officials to perform emergency repairs, causing traffic diversions and delays on the heavily traveled stretch between PCH and the 10 Freeway. The erosion and fissure in the bluff, likely caused by heavy rains, were discovered after Suzanne Yankovic, wife of musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, alerted officials on social media. Construction crews quickly removed the unstable portion of the bluff, and repairs are expected to be completed ahead of schedule.
