Well ahead of schedule the Big Oak Flat Road (Highway 120 access to Yosemite Valley) has reopened for traffic in both lanes.
The closure was expected to last until early April, but once the repair work began, crews found the extent of subsurface damage was less than originally anticipated. The mild weather over the past few weeks was also a major contributing factor, allowing road crews to work around the clock in order to safely reopen the road to traffic.
The remaining road repairs work will occur over the next few weeks with minimal delays and intermittent single lane traffic control.
