Highway 50 over Echo Summit reopens with one-way controlled traffic

Caltrans has reopened Highway 50 between Meyers and Placerville with one-way controlled traffic at Alder Creek where a mudslide closed it last night. They originally said all traffic would be rerouted to other highways through Friday evening but crews were able to get it open.

The slope is still not stable and they are working on getting the mud flow stopped.
