A small hill slide in Dana Point along Coast Highway has  closed the road in both directions between Camino Capistrano to Palisades Dr. on Friday morning.

Crews were working to clean up the debris from the minor slide that happened overnight, when a storm soaked the region.

The road is expected to open by the afternoon, according to the city.

The area is prone to landslides, smaller-scale hill movements that can impact traffic, but also larger ones through the years that destroyed several homes decades ago.
