Monterey County officials are bracing for flooding along the Salinas River that could cut off road access to the Monterey Peninsula starting Thursday afternoon.
"Some of the roadways are going to be closed and you could be stuck on one side or the other," Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
Roads near the Salinas River that could be affected include state Highway 68, River Road, Reservation Road, Blanco Road, and possibly state Highway 1, officials said. Evacuation orders are already in effect for low-lying areas along the Salinas River, from north of Highway 68 to the Pacific Ocean. The river could flood as early as noon Thursday at Highway 68 at Spreckles, and Highway 1 north of Marina, according to an advisory from Monterey city officials Wednesday."All residents and workers are urged to plan ahead," the city said in a weather update at about 8 p.m. Wednesday.
