Drainage issue a problem on Hwy. 50

Because of safety concerns, the new westbound carpool lane on Highway 50 from Cameron Park Drive to Bass Lake Road in El Dorado County remains closed.

A drainage issue was discovered on one section of the new lane. The fix will require repaving, and temperatures are not expected to be warm enough to repave until sometime in May.

An updated advisory by Caltrans will be released when the lane is open to traffic.
