SANTA CRUZ COUNTY — Highway 35 has been closed indefinitely after a portion of the roadway washed away near Las Cumbres Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP San Jose area field office posted a picture of the damage near mile marker 10.47 to Twitter around 3:40 p.m. Friday. There were no immediate reports of any injuries.

The highway, also known as Skyline Boulevard, is one of several battered by a series of storms since December. Highway 17, for example, was blocked by a mudslide for most of the day Friday.

One of the two southbound lanes was reopened around 7 p.m., and the other was set to open to northbound traffic at noon Saturday.

On Friday, Gov. Jerry Brown requested a presidential major disaster declaration to bolster ongoing state and local recovery efforts following January storms that caused flooding, mudslides, erosion, power outages and damage to critical infrastructure statewide.

Brown also issued an executive order adding the counties of Amador, Mono and Riverside to the 49 counties already included in an emergency proclamation issued last month.
