A stretch of Malibu Canyon Road reopened Monday after crews cleared debris from a weekend rockslide.

The rockslide was reported to the California Highway Patrol at 4:41 a.m. Sunday near a tunnel where Las Virgenes Road becomes Malibu Canyon Road and crosses Piuma Road in Agoura Hills.

The road was closed from Piuma Road to Pacific Coast Highway. Photos of the scene showed large rocks and debris covering the road. 

At 9:13 p.m. Sunday, it was reported that the rocks and mud were completely cleared but northbound and southbound lanes would remain closed until about 3 p.m. Monday.

The county Department of Public Works announced Monday afternoon that the stretch had been cleared for reopening, and traffic began moving again at 3 p.m.
