University officials are trying to get more details regarding the timeline for when the canyon will be fully reopened. In the meantime, drivers should use alternate routes as the barricades may indicate a longer closure. The Malibu Campus is open, classes are proceeding as scheduled, and normal business operations are expected to continue throughout the day. Please allow for extra time when traveling to campus. For the most up-to-date information on roads near Pepperdine’s Malibu campus, please call the Road Conditions Hotline at 310.506.7623 (ROAD).
