Despite ongoing cleanup and restoration efforts following the Palisades Fire, a portion of the Pacific Coast Highway reopened Sunday to traffic.

The beachside thoroughfare reopened in Malibu up to Coastline Drive on the north end Sunday, but remained closed between Coastline Drive and Entrada Drive.

Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Palisades neighborhood are reopening to the public this weekend despite concerns from some local residents and officials who fear it's too soon to allow wide access to the fire-damaged area.
