Highway 37 reopens in both directions

NOVATO, Calif. (BCN) - After being closed for over six days due to flooding, Highway 37 has reopened in both directions.

The eastbound direction of the highway reopened on Wednesday, but the westbound side had remained closed.

On Sunday, a portion of state Highway 37 in Novato has been closed due to flooding from heavy overnight rain, according to the California Highway Patrol.

It was closed between U.S. Highway 101 and Atherton Avenue.

One driver traveling on the highway's westbound side was apparently stuck overnight after their vehicle became almost covered in water, according to the CHP.

The same area of the highway was closed for several hours two weeks ago also due to flooding as a result of stormy weather.
