Caltrans closed a portion of Highway 99 between Turner Road and Peltier Road in San Joaquin County Monday afternoon due to flooding in the area.
Officials say crews have been working 12-hour shifts to get the roadway back open and are pumping water from the highway along 5,000 feet of steel pipe into the Mokelumne River.
The flood water moved from the east side of Highway 99 over to the west Monday. It eventually flooded several lanes on northbound Highway 99 before reaching the median and southbound lanes.
