What California roads and freeways are closed by winter storm?

As a winter storm continued to pound California on Friday, several major freeways and roads were closed due to the weather, including portions of Interstate 5.

The weather system, which is expected to continue through Saturday, has created dangerous driving conditions for residents of the mountainous regions.

These are the roads and highways in Southern California that will be closed due to the storm:
