Caltrans Starts Spring Clearing Of Mountain Passes

Stockton, CA...The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has launched its spring clearing of State Route 108 (SR-108) over Sonora Pass and SR-89 over Monitor Pass, as maintenance crews will be kept busy removing snow, clearing debris, inspecting the roadway and making the appropriate improvements to ensure the public’s safety. The Department intends to open the closure gates at Eagle Meadows and Kennedy Meadows after reaching those points on SR-108. Caltrans will announce each gate opening as it occurs.




Caltrans’ goal is to open Sonora Pass to Kennedy Meadows Road in time for the beginning of trout season, Saturday, April 29, 2017. Caltrans asks that no pedestrians, bicyclists or other vehicles go beyond the closure gates while maintenance crews are conducting snow removal/clearing operations. Safety is our priority, for the public as well as Caltrans’ workers.

To see how Caltrans clears the three mountain passes it maintains in District 10 – Sonora, Monitor and Ebbets/SR-4 (Calaveras County) – check out this video on “Clearing Mountain Passes for Spring Travel” at goo.gl/x8vlP5.

Caltrans is scheduled to begin clearing Ebbets Pass later this month. Tioga Pass/SR-120, which is in Yosemite National Park, is maintained by the National Park Service.

Work is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, and availability of equipment and/ or materials. For the latest conditions, call our Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623)

Winter weather and road conditions can change rapidly. Motorists should expect the worst conditions and be prepared when traveling in areas subject to hazardous conditions. All vehicles, including those with four-wheel drive or snow tires, should carry chains when traveling.

For the safety of workers and other motorists, please Slow For the Cone Zone.
