Highway 37 in Novato to Remain Closed Due to Flooding

NBC Universal, Inc.

Caltrans said Sunday night that Highway 37 that was closed Saturday in both directions near Atherton Avenue - including the U.S. 101 connector ramps to SR-37 in Novato - due to storm related flooding, will likely remain closed into Monday.

The full highway closure went into effect just after 5:30 p.m. Saturday and will remain in effect until Caltrans and CHP deem the highway safe for motorists to travel.

Caltrans crews spent Sunday cleaning up and pumped standing water off SR-37, as well as taking preventative measures as overnight rain and high tides are expected to bring more severe flooding.

Crews will remain at the scene to continue to monitor the area.

Motorists are encouraged to use U.S. 101 to I-580 Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, then eastbound I-80, to travel from Marin County to Solano and other North Bay destinations.

Caltrans will update its Twitter page on the latest highway conditions and on Caltrans quickmap: quickmap.dot.ca.gov.
