Original story posted at 7am: Sonora, CA — The Tuolumne County Roads Division closed Kewin Mill Road just north of Belleview Elementary School due to flooding.
A substantial amount of water crossing Kewin Mill Road yesterday necessitated a full closure between Comstock Ranch and Belleview Elementary School. A detour is in place in Cedar Ridge with a single lane, with flaggers, traversing Broken Pine Road, Hitching Post Road, Pack Trail Road and Old Oak Ranch Road.
It is unknown how long the closure will continue. You will want to avoid the area if possible.
