May 22, 2015 - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has removed the snow, cleared the debris and made the necessary repairs to reopen State Route 108 (SR-108) over Sonora Pass on Friday, May 22, 2015, at approximately 7:45 a.m.
Caltrans opened the pass for the spring season on Friday, April 17, 2015 but closed the pass on Monday, May 18, 2015, at 4:45 p.m. due to weather conditions. Caltrans is monitoring the weather, and crews may close the pass again if weather does not permit safe passage.
Each year, Caltrans crews work diligently to clear debris, remove snow and make highway repairs in order for the pass to reopen by Memorial Day Weekend. Yet, Caltrans will only open the pass if weather permits, and road conditions are safe and suitable for motorists.
For the latest road condition information, the radio may be tuned to the Caltrans Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) at 530 AM, 1610 AM or 1670 AM or call the Caltrans Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623). Real time conditions are also available online and for mobile phones at http://quickmap.dot.ca.gov. Changeable Message Signs with flashing beacons will have information regarding the pass closures.
Please remember, weather and road conditions can change rapidly. Motorists should expect the worst conditions and be prepared when traveling in areas subject to hazardous conditions.
