Carson City Public Works: One lane section of Combs Canyon Road closed due to flood damage
CARSON CITY — Due to flooding that occurred this morning, a 100-foot section of Combs Canyon Road, an 1/8 of a mile south of the Lakeview Road intersection will be closed to one lane of travel.
The adverse weather, saturated soil, and exposed underground utilities make the permanent repair difficult. The west side of the road is expected to be closed for approximately four weeks and is unsafe for travel.
Public Works staff is asking the public to avoid driving on Coombs Canyon Road, if possible. Local traffic is advised to use the Highway 395 egress/ingress for the Lakeview subdivision when possible and remember that when using Combs Canyon Road drivers should use care and caution when approaching on-coming traffic.
Any questions or concerns please call the Public Works Department at: (775) 887-2355.
Carson City Public Works encourages residents to visit www.carson.org to stay up-to-date on the weather, road closures, trail/path closures, sandbag locations and resources that are deployed across the city. Additional public information that is released will be posted to the City website flood page.
A Flood Hotline has been designated for flood related reporting and questions, which are not life-threatening. The number is (775) 887-2355 and officials ask the public to use this number instead of 9-1-1 for non-emergency flood calls.
Please be watchful of City crews working as they continue to mitigate and assess storm damage.
