It is tentatively scheduled to reopen on Friday at 6 a.m., CHP confirmed. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes during the closure.
The road closure comes as a Red Flag Warning has been issued for most of Southern California. According to the National Weather Service , wind gusts could peak at 80 miles per hour across portions of L.A. and Ventura counties as humidities in the region fall to the single digits.
