The highway is closed from MacKerricher State Park to Bruhel Point Road because of flooding and a possible slide.
The closure spans nearly 10 miles of the Pacific Coast Highway. It comes as an atmospheric river blankets the area, bringing up to 5 inches of rain to the region, the National Weather Service said.
A flood watch remains in effect for the Mendocino Coast until 10 p.m.
No estimated time of reopening has been provided, the CHP said.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes.
