Mudslides, recent flooding, rock slides and a sinkhole have shut down four roadways in unincorporated Contra Costa County, public works officials said Monday.
The latest closure occurred on Highland Road, which is closed between Collier Canyon Road and Camino Tassajara due to rock and mudslides. Only local traffic is allowed through the area as crews work to clear the road.
A sinkhole has closed Deer Valley Road in both directions between Briones Valley and Marsh Creek roads, said Contra Costa County Public Works Department spokesperson Kelly Kalfsbeek.

Marsh Creek Road is also closed, between Deer Valley and Morgan Territory roads, due to ongoing rock and mudslides.
Morgan Territory Road is closed, between addresses 5477 to 5649, because of mudslides and only residents are allowed access, officials said.
Motorists should take alternate routes to avoid the closures, and should never try to cross flooded roads-driving, riding or walking, public works officials said.
