SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Work is getting underway Monday or a portion of road in Santa Cruz hat has started falling into the ocean after the recent storms.

The city is beginning construction on West Cliff Drive, the scenic street along the waterfront.

Crews are going to bring 200 tons of boulders and fabric to protect the exposed cliff side, until they can figure out a permanent solution.
