Major Sinkhole Swallows Section of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu
A massive sinkhole,approximately 40 feet wide and 25 feet deep, opened early this morning on Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu's Big Rock area, severing the crucial coastal route. Calgeo scientists attribute the collapse to a combination of subterranean erosion from last winter's rains and possible undocumented seismic activity. Repair crews estimate a closure of at least one week. Detours through the canyons are causing gridlock, impacting beach communities and businesses during the normally busy holiday week.
