Heavy rainfalls in Southern California have sped up the landslide in Rancho Palos Verdes affecting a major thruway
Rancho Palos Verdes officials are preparing to close a section of Palos Verdes Drive South for repairs after the two-lane roadway suffered damage from an accelerating landslide complex that continues to wreak havoc on the coastal city. Palos Verdes Drive South is a major two-lane road that spans a 15-mile stretch of the California coast along which 15,000 vehicles pass every day, officials said.
The land in some areas is descending towards the Pacific Ocean at a rate of about half an inch per day, according to Michael Phipps, a geologist working for the city. The landslide has already damaged some homes and recently forced the closure of the historic Wayfarer's Chapel, a popular wedding site perched on a hillside overlooking the ocean. In a recent report presented to the City Council, Phipps found that the current pace is three or four times the rate recorded in 2023.
