Spring Pass Clearing Update #3
Sonora Pass (State Route 108)
Tuolumne County- The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is pleased to announce that over the weekend our District 10 Long Barn and District 9 Sonora Junction maintenance crews were able to meet on eastern side of Sonora Pass with their State Route 108 snow removal operations.
Caltrans has continued to make good progress clearing Sonora Pass this season and will now be preparing the roadway for the seasonal reopening of State Route 108. Caltrans maintenance crews will spend the next week repairing damaged guardrails, culverts, signage, potholes, and restriping the roadway to ensure the highway is safe for motorists and pedestrians.
Sonora Pass will remain closed to traffic eastbound at the Kennedy Meadows gate, and westbound at the Mono County gate while Caltrans maintenance crews prepare the highway for safe travel. While Caltrans cannot specify the exact date State Route 108 will formally reopen to traffic for the season, we will however be providing weekly pass clearing updates.
