Here’s some more information on the Big Oak Flat Road closure.
Yosemite National Park Spokesperson Scott Gediman says a boulder, “the size of a house,” fell into the road and brought with it tree branches and several smaller rocks.
Gediman says the best case scenario is that the debris will be removed over the coming days and Big Oak Flat Road will reopen “within the next several days.” He says the worst case scenario is that there is structural damage to the road and it will need extensive repairs. Gediman says this scenario could result in the road being closed for “several months.”
At this point Yosemite is calling Big Oak Flat Road “closed indefinitely.”
