Police activity has forced the closure of part of eastbound Highway 50 at 15th Street in Sacramento, Caltrans said Sunday.
Caltrans announced that westbound Hwy 50 reopened to traffic, but it's still not clear when eastbound Hwy 50 will reopen.
The Sacramento Police Department says that eastbound X Street is also closed between Riverside Boulevard and 21st Street.
