The highway closed early Sunday when the Cosumnes River overwhelmed the road, stranding dozens of vehicles in the water and halting traffic on one of California’s major north-south thoroughfares.
The California Highway Patrol and Caltrans throughout Sunday discouraged drivers from approaching the road and declined to release a timeline for when the highway
would open.“Thanks to our crews and @CHPSouthSac for their efforts working on the holiday weekend to keep motorists safe,” read a message on Caltrans’ Twitter channel.
