Storm Impacting Bay Area Roads; Chain Controls In Effect on I-80 In Tahoe Area
"I-80 was back open as of 1:30 pm Monday after being shut down for several hours in both directions in the Sierra. As snow continues to fall in the mountains, chain controls and lowered speed limits are in effect. Chains are required in the eastbound and westbound lanes from the Nevada state line to 2.1 miles east of Baxter in Placer County. As KCRA reports, chains are also required on Highway 50 from Twin Bridges to Meyers."
"Monday afternoon, Caltrans also announced partial closures of some major roads in Sonoma County, including a section of Highway 12 from Watmaugh Road to the intersection with state Highway 121, due to minor flooding. Highway 121 was also closed from Fremont Drive to its intersection with Highway 12, and Caltrans expects the roads to remain closed until 5 am Wednesday. We have not yet had any reports of significant flooding in San Francisco itself."
I-80 in the Tahoe Sierra was temporarily closed both directions Monday morning due to multiple spinouts and reopened by 1:30 p.m. after several hours. Snow continues in the mountains, prompting chain controls and reduced speed limits; chains are required eastbound and westbound from the Nevada state line to 2.1 miles east of Baxter in Placer County, and on Highway 50 from Twin Bridges to Meyers. Caltrans announced partial closures in Sonoma County, including Highway 12 and Highway 121, with those roads expected to remain closed until 5 a.m. Wednesday. San Francisco has no significant flooding reports, but a coastal flood advisory is in effect until 3 p.m. Tuesday and intermittent downpours will resume around 4 a.m., impacting commutes.
