April 8, 2024 - Yosemite National Park officials report the Big Oak Flat Road (extension of Highway 120) is closed from the Foresta Junction to the intersection with El Portal Road (extension of Highway 140) due to rockfall.

Park crews are currently assessing the situation as the rockfall area may still be active.

We expect the closure to last at least through Tuesday evening (April 9).

We will announce updates as more information becomes available.
