The California Department of Transportation has issued an update on the progress they have made on cleaning up debris from a March 17th rockslide that forced the closure of an important entry road into Yosemite National Park.
California State Route 140 will remained fully closed between Briceburg to the Yosemite Cedar Lodge and there is no estimated time when it will reopen. Crews are still assessing the best options to remove the debris safely and ensure the safety of motorists once it reopens. Drivers should avoid this route and seek alternative highways (SR-41, SR-120) to and from Yosemite National Park.
CalTrans Statement:
“A long-term FULL CLOSURE remains in place on SR-140 from Briceburg to the Yosemite Cedar Lodge due to a landslide that occurred on 3/17/25. While there is no current ETO, geotechnical experts are carefully assessing the site to determine the safest course for cleanup and ensure stability for crews to move as carefully and expeditiously as possible and open this roadway. Motorists should avoid this route and seek alternative highways to and from Yosemite National Park.”
