From VCPWA:
“Balcom Canyon Road is officially reopened to the public after being closed since Spring 2024. The Ventura County Public Works Agency (PWA) has completed all necessary repairs and safety improvements, restoring full access for residents, ranching operations, and emergency services. The closure followed significant roadway damage caused by a landslide, requiring extensive assessment, design, and construction to ensure long-term stability. Crews worked through challenging site conditions to rebuild the damaged section, improve drainage, and reinforce the surrounding embankments.
Supervisor Kelly Long’s office and the Ventura County Public Works Agency appreciate the community’s patience throughout the closure and extend their thanks to the construction crews and engineers, whose coordinated efforts made the reopening possible. With repairs now complete, Balcom Canyon Road is once again safe for travel and ready to serve the community for years to come. “The reopening of Balcom Canyon Road restores a critical connection between the Santa Clara Valley, Camarillo, and surrounding communities. This corridor plays an important role in keeping residents, businesses, and emergency services connected. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Ventura County Public Works Agency for their hard work and commitment in repairing this road after significant storm damage and safely reopening it for the community,” said Supervisor Long.”
