Will The Snake, a windy portion of Mulholland Drive, ever reopen to the public? The 2.4-mile stretch of roadway nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains was given the nickname due to its many twists and turns. Storm damage from the 2018 Woolsey Fire, particularly caused by mudslides, prompted officials to close that portion of the roadway from Kanan Road to Sierra Creek Road for the past four years.A portion of Mulholland Drive known as The Snake is seen in this file image taken from Sky5. (KTLA)Construction is expected to be completed next year, but now officials are debating whether it is safe to reopen The Snake, which is notorious for street racing and violent crashes, to the public, The East Bay Times reported. “The problem is speed.
