A portion of the Santa Monica bluffs continued to undergo repairs after city officials were notified that there was a crack in the historic hillside above Pacific Coast Highway.
Repairs to the fissure in the bluffs will cause traffic diversions and delays on the heavily traveled stretch between PCH and the Santa Monica 10 Freeway throughout the morning.
"Recently, the city discovered an unstable portion of the Santa Monica Bluffs located just above the Pacific Coast Highway between the California Incline and Moomat Ahiko Way," said Selim Eren, the city's principal engineer. "In order to address the land instability and to ensure safety, the city is proactively performing an emergency removal of the portion identified."
Construction crews began moving heavy equipment onto PCH early this morning to begin removal of the damaged portion of the bluffs.
