Roadwork Alert! Two major projects will cause delays and closures along Wawona Road (continuation of Highway 41) over the coming weeks:
30-minute delays are in place on weekdays from 8 am–6 pm, Oct. 19–28 and Nov 19–Dec. 31 as road crews work to repair drainage pipes and stabilize road shoulders damaged by the 2018 Ferguson Fire. From Oct. 29–Nov. 18, Wawona Road will be fully closed on weekdays from 8 am–noon and 1–5 pm to address active slide areas above the road. These full closures are to prevent vehicles from being hit by slide material or blast rock as crews work to remove loose rocks and boulders from unstable hillsides. Glacier Point Road and Yosemite West will still be accessible from Yosemite Valley.Wawona Road will be open as usual on weekends. Thanks for your patience as we address these safety concerns!
