UPDATE: Hwy 17 is now open
SCOTTS VALLEY (KRON) — A mudslide and downed wires closed northbound Highway 17 lanes leaving Scotts Valley heading into the Santa Cruz Mountains Monday morning.
The closure is happening at Granite Creek. As of Monday afternoon traffic is moving through the area but North and South Bound traffic are using the South Bound lanes. So there is only one lane in each direction open.
The large mudslide and downed wires are blocking both lanes of traffic just south of Sugarloaf.
