LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Thanks to a sunny break in the rain, Clear Lake’s flood waters have begun to recede, but in many areas around the county conditions aren’t yet safe enough to lift road closures.
With closures of streets and four neighborhoods remaining in effect due to flooding, the Lakeport Police Department warned that motorists founds driving on closed roadways will be cited.
The agency said driving on closed roadways is prohibited to all motorists – including residents in flooded areas.
Police said the wakes created by motorists driving in flooded areas are damaging homes.
Additionally, the inundated roadways are in danger of failure and additional driving may lead to collapse, police said.
Elsewhere around the county, state highways in Lake County are open and clear, according to Caltrans.
However, this week there was the report of a sinkhole that’s developed on the east side of Highway 29 north of Hidden Valley Lake.
Caltrans spokesman Phil Frisbie said the sinkhole is caused by a failing culvert.
He said Caltrans has initiated an emergency contract for repairs with Epidendio Construction of Lower Lake.
The many county and city roadways that were closed on Friday remain closed on Saturday, with no new opening updates from county or city officials.
One of the major closures, of the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff, may remain in effect through the weekend, according to the Lake County Public Works Facebook page.
The full list of road closures and advisories for areas around the county follows. Information was compiled from reports from Caltrans, the California Highway Patrol, the Clearlake Police Department, Lake County Department of Public Works and the Lakeport Police Department.
