Highway 50 near Kyburz reopens after mud flows over roadway

Caltrans closed part of Highway 50 near Kyburz Wednesday afternoon to allow them time to clean up a river of mud that was flowing over the roadway.

Travelers between Placerville and South Lake Tahoe had up to an hour delay as crews cleaned out overflowing culverts to get the water moving in a direction that wouldn't hamper drivers.

With more heavy rains on the way, and ground that is already saturated, residents and drivers can expect more of the same through Friday.
