Two lanes in each direction have opened, with a 25 mph speed limit between Temescal Canyon Road in Pacific Palisades and Carbon Beach Terrace in Malibu, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Pacific Coast Highway, which has been largely off-limits to all but residents, first responders and cleanup crews since the Jan. 7 fire, will reopen to all traffic.

Less than 48 hours before the planned reopening, the state said it remains "in the dark" regarding the city of Los Angeles' plans for providing security to the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades.
