Submitted by Jeff Munson on Fri, 02/10/2017 - 11:38am
Carson City Emergency Operations Center reports: Kings Canyon Road west of the Longview intersection is now open. Water and debris continue to cover the roadway, please use caution if driving on the road.
According to the National Weather Service, there is a chance for possible light snow dusting onto the valley floor later this evening. Carson River has crested and is in the moderate flood stage, which is below the recent January storm. Small creeks and streams are very full and remain at risk with minor flooding issues. Carson City can expect continued rainfall until early this afternoon.
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. This number will be staffed all day today.
Please be watchful of City crews working as they continue to mitigate and assess storm damage. The following roads are closed:
— Curry Street is closed from Rhodes Street to 10th Street.
— A 100 foot section of Combs Canyon Road that is 1/8 of a mile south of the Lakeview
— Road intersection-travel is reduced to one lane, please use caution and yield to oncoming traffic. Residents are advised to use the Highway 395 egress/ingress for the Lakeview subdivision.
— Musser Street between Mountain Street and Iris Street is closed due to a fallen tree.
— Center Drive between Clear Creek Avenue and Topsy Lane
— Cradlebaugh Bridge on Highway 395 is open with one southbound lane and one northbound lane in each direction.
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.
