Merced County, CA — J-59 (La Grange Road) continues to be closed between Fields Road and Highway 132.
The CHP says drivers need to refrain from steering around the barricades as, you can see in the image, a vehicle recently became stuck. The stretch of J-59 was washed out during the atmospheric river on March 22. It remains unclear when J-59 will be repaired and reopened.
