Update: All westbound lanes of Highway 50 reopened about 9:30 a.m. Westbound Highway 50 remains closed Tuesday morning between Hazel Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard for police activity, forcing commuters from Folsom and El Dorado County to find alternate routes into Sacramento. The California Highway Patrol recommended motorists use Folsom Boulevard to bypass the closure, which followed a fatal shooting involving officers on the freeway just west of Hazel Avenue shortly after midnight. Slow-and-go traffic was seen stacking up on southbound Highway 50 stretching to Prairie City Road by 7 a.m. CHP Officer Andrew Brown said drivers also could take Greenback Lane west through Orangevale and Citrus Heights to Sunrise Boulevard.
