Deputies to close Topanga Canyon Boulevard at peak of windstorm Play

Lost Hills sheriff's deputies say they will close Topanga Canyon Boulevard — Highway 27 — to all traffic except Topanga Canyon residents. The closure will run northbound and southbound from Grandview south to the beach, the lowest three and a half miles, at the peak of the windstorm.

The sheriff's office apparently sees a fire danger there but not on other canyon roads, which will remain open. All other roads in the Malibu area are expected to stay open. The closure is unusual.
