San Jose: Highway 87 lanes reopened after floods caused closures early Thursday
California Highway Patrol has reported that all lanes of state Highway 87 near Highway 85 in San Jose are open after flooding caused some closures early Thursday morning.
Around 5:10 a.m., the California Highway Patrol said two southbound lanes of Highway 87 north of Highway 85 were flooded, creating risky driving conditions.
Drivers were advised to seek alternate routes or use caution since the water on the roadway can be difficult to see and may cause vehicles to lose control.
Forecasters have warned of flash flooding across the Bay Area, especially on roads, low-lying areas, and near creeks, with rain falling at high rates into Thursday. A Flood Watch remains in effect across much of the region.
