Do you know if that construction or any other construction is still going on on that stretch of PCH? Any other thoughts on the safety of that stretch of PCH? I'm really coming from Northridge (planning on taking Sepulveda over the hill to Santa Monica), so any other suggested (safe) routes to Zuma also would be appreciated.
I can't comment on PCH but if you are heading out of Northridge, I would think a better route would take you north through Calabasas to Mulholland and the Santa Monicas. There are multiple ways to get to PCH through there that would be much nicer than riding the busy coast route. Good views, great climbs.
