A section of Highway 101 on the South Coast which was closed for more than six hours by storm flooding Friday is open.
More than two feet of water and mud closed the northbound lanes of the 101 near La Conchita just before two p.m. Friday. Northbound traffic was diverted at the Highway 101-33 interchange in Ventura, and diverted onto the 33 and Highway 150. There were massive delays.
One of the northbound lanes was finally reopened just after eight Friday night, and work is still underway to clean up the rest of the freeway.
