From Yosemite National Park
We are pleased to announce that Big Oak Flat Road (continuation of Highway 120 into Yosemite from the west) will reopen with delays on Saturday, June 10, barring any unforeseen complications or weather delays. Thanks to the Federal Highway Administration and the contractor, who are working seven days per week to open the road as quickly as possible.
Currently, Big Oak Flat Road is closed west of Merced Grove; there is no access to Yosemite via Hwy 120 from the west (except to Hodgdon Meadow and Hetch Hetchy) until June 10. Yosemite Valley and other areas of the park are accessible if entering the park via Highways 41 and 140.
Mariposa Grove Road will open tomorrow, May 26, at 9 am to vehicles displaying a disability placard. However, shuttle service will not resume until later in June.
