November 22, 2017 - BISHOP – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) along with Yosemite National Park have completed the assessment on the reopening of Tioga Pass this weekend.

An excess of snow, ice and debris render the roadway unsafe for travel at this time.

Caltrans and Yosemite National Park will assess the pass again early next week, following the expected storm to arrive on Saturday, November 25th.

The reopening of Tioga Pass is dependent upon favorable weather.  Please check local highway conditions before planning travel.

For the latest highway information please visit the Caltrans QuickMap site at quickmap.dot.ca.gov or call the Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
