Overview
- The slide was reported Sunday near Red Mesa Road and completely blocked the two-lane canyon route, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
- Hard closures were set up on both sides of the canyon, and traffic is being diverted away from the affected stretch.
- The current shutdown covers Santa Susana Pass Road between Red Mesa Road and Iverson Road in Chatsworth.
- Officials noted the slide occurred at the site of a November brush fire, and crews said recent rains and the prior burn may have destabilized the slope.
- Cleanup and assessments are underway, with authorities providing no specific reopening time beyond the weeklong estimate.
