The El Portal Road (Highway 140) into Yosemite National Park has reopened to all vehicular traffic, with delays. The road is open one lane, with controlled traffic, and visitors are asked to not stop along the road en route to Yosemite Valley. The road may close again at any time in the event of hazardous driving conditions.

 

The Big Oak Flat Road (Highway 120 W) is also open.

 

Park visitors are asked to be aware of hazards, including potential wet and icy road conditions, rockfall, and debris in roadways.
