A large sinkhole has forced a highway to close in California’s San Mateo County.
The highway reportedly remained closed on Friday in both directions from State Route 35 to Pilarcitos Creek Road, and Caltrans did not give an immediate time for its reopening.
The transportation department advised drivers traveling to Half Moon Bay to take State Route 1 while the highway closure was in place. According to The Associated Press, a series of storms has walloped California since late December, leaving at least 19 people dead. On Friday, 6,000 people were under evacuation orders and another 20,000 households were without power with more rain in the forecast.Most Read
