Update: Highway 50 fully open in East Sacramento after closure due to spilled manure
Three lanes of westbound Highway 50 in Sacramento were closed for about three hours Friday due to a manure spill.
The two right lanes of traffic were initially closed just east of Stockton Boulevard due to the smelly hazard, Caltrans said in a social media post just before 10 a.m. The middle lane was also closed, Caltrans said around 10:45 a.m.
All lanes reopened shortly after noon, Caltrans live traffic cameras showed. The Stockton Boulevard off-ramp remained open throughout the lane closures.
The California Highway Patrol first received reports about the manure spill around 9 a.m., according to the CHP online activity log.
The incident caused delays, with Caltrans traffic cameras showing lanes gridlocked to at least 65th Street throughout the morning.
