Flooding from the Carson River at Cradle Bough Bridge between Stephanie Lane and Plymouth Road forced the closure of Highway 395 in that area of Douglas County just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
At 8:30 p.m., sheriff's officers were still assessing whether traffic could safely be diverted to Jacks Valley Road and Foothill Drive, which had been plagued by mudslides and flooding throughout the day.
It's uncertain when the road will be reopened.
