Arnold, CA….The storm is taking its toll on local roads this morning. Those needing attention before traffic can flow again are Murphys Grade, Railroad Flat & Mountain Ranch Road. Details are below.

The severe storms continue, causing significant damage to the local infrastructure and resulting in the closure of several roads. The affected roads were closed due to fallen trees and power lines, as well as debris and flooding caused by heavy rains.

At 5:14 AM, CHP received reports of a hard closure of Mountain Ranch Road at MILs, with CHP unit (L68) assigned to the scene. The road was closed to allow for cleanup and repairs to be made to the damaged infrastructure.

At 6:04 AM, CHP received a report of a hard closure of Murphys Grade Road at Ranch, with CHP Unit (L79) assigned to the scene. The road was closed to allow for cleanup and repairs to be made to the damaged infrastructure.

At 6:19 AM, CHP received a report of a hard closure of Railroad Flat Road at Prussian. This road was also closed due to fallen power lines and CHP Unit (L83) assigned to the scene.

It’s important to note that a hard closure means that the road is completely closed to traffic, and no vehicles will be allowed to pass through until the road is deemed safe for travel. These closures may cause significant delays for commuters and travelers, and it is important to check for updates on road conditions and closures before embarking on any journey.

Due to the severity of the storm and damage to the roads, the estimated time for reopening all closed roads were not immediately available and repairs were being made as soon as possible. Alternative routes are recommended for those who need to travel in the affected area and the public is encouraged to monitor local news and follow instructions from local authorities. This incident serves as a reminder to be aware of the weather conditions and the potential hazards it can cause on the roads.
