Update Contra Costa County Announces Current Road Closures

by ECT

Contra Costa County Public Works crews have been working steadily to clear mud, tree branches and debris on roads impacted by the storms over the past 24 hours.

As of this afternoon the following closures are in effect in Contra Costa County:

  • Olinda Road in El Sobrante is closed between Castro Ranch and Valley View Roads due to downed trees and power lines.
  • Valley View Road in El Sobrante is closed between San Pablo Dam Road and D’Avilla Way due to downed power lines.
  • Stretches of Morgan Territory Road and Alhambra Valley Road remain closed due to multiple landslides and damage from prior storms.
  • UPDATED — Marsh Creek Road is open

With more rain expected late this week, this is a good time to prepare for the next wave, checking rain gutters and storm drains for blockage.  If you’re concerned about potential flooding at your home or business, it’s not too late to visit one of the sandbag stations located throughout the county.  Please note that you’ll need to bring a shovel, but bags and sand are available for free.   Find out details regarding County sandbag sites at www.cccounty.us/sandbags.

County Public Works Maintenance road crews maintain the storm drain inlets through a program of annual inspection and cleaning.  To report a clogged catch basin or drainage inlet please call the Public Works Maintenance Division at 925-313-7000 during work hours and after hours call Sheriff’s Dispatch at 925-646-2441.
