LA City Rainstorms

 

​ Recognize warning signs of a potential landslide. Fences, retaining walls, utility poles, or trees tilt or move. Widening cracks appear on the ground or on paved areas such as streets or driveways. Listen and watch for rushing water, mud, or unusual sounds.

 

Signs of a Slide

Listen AND watch for other signs: mud buildup at the base of hills, widening cracks in outside walls or paved areas, sticking doors, broken utility lines, and pooling ground water.

Remaining Storm-related Closures

Benedict Canyon Road Closed to Through Traffic

There is now NO through-access on a northern portion of Benedict Canyon Road (~3000 block) near Mulholland Drive due to bulkhead erosion (see map). A "soft closure" continues south to Hutton Drive with local-resident access only. An alternate is Deep Canyon Drive.

Stretch of Mulholland to Remain Closed

Due to severe road damage -- at four locations -- a portion of Mulholland Drive has been closed to through traffic between Skyline Drive and Bowmont Drive (see map). Most recent estimates are that repairs and structural rebuilding will require the road to remain closed until some time in May.
