The Pacific Coast Highway is back open in Malibu, California, nearly a month after the deadly Palisades Fire ripped through hillside Los Angeles neighborhoods, destroying properties all the way down to the beach.

Despite ongoing cleanup and restoration efforts following the Palisades Fire, a portion of the Pacific Coast Highway will reopen Sunday to traffic.

The stretch of the highway along the Pacific Ocean between Santa Monica and Malibu reopened to regular traffic. Some local officials believe it is too soon.
