You Are Free to Roam the High Country as Sonora Joins Ebbetts Pass in Reopening

Kennedy Meadows, CA...The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) formally reopened Sonora Pass on State Route 108 at 3:00 p.m. yesterday after five weeks of snow removal operations. Our District 10 Long Barn and District 9 Sonora Junction Maintenance crews made great progress clearing Sonora Pass this season exceeding our annual goal of reopening State Route 108 prior to Memorial Day.




Sonora Pass, at 9,624 feet of elevation, is the second highest point on the state highway system maintained by Caltrans. The highway was formally closed for the winter season on January 2, 2024, at the Sno-Park on State Route 108 just north of Strawberry. Our District 10 Long Barn crew began their snow removal operations in early April at the Sno-Park, approximately 28 miles to the summit, and worked 10 hours a day, 7 days a week encountering snow levels of 10-16ft in locations along with several down trees and debris

Caltrans top priority is ensuring the safety of the traveling public and our workers along with supporting the economic vitality of our local communities. We are pleased to reopen State Route 108 for the season without incident and to allow early public access for recreation activities along Sonora Pass.

Caltrans urges motorists to still use caution while driving the Sierra Mountain pass routes and watch for icy road surfaces in the overnight and early morning hours. For the latest highway conditions visit Quickmap.dot.ca.gov, download our QuickMap mobile app, tune your car radio to Caltrans Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) at 530 AM, 1610 AM, or call the Caltrans Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).

For the safety of workers and other motorists, please Be Work Zone Alert and Move Over to give Caltrans maintenance crews room to work.

That is a beautiful wall of granite! Now to our reality, The Hoe is setting her sights on becoming governor of Calabama if Plugs goes down in smoke, what a treat that would be, sorry Gavy didn’t make the photo op at the gate opening,heard he was busy with one of his staffers, wink, wink, that about covers it!

    I heard the same about the Hoe, just imagine, she use to throw npot smokers in prison, not jail, prison. The she knew of evidence of a guilty person she put in prison, said nothing to let him rot. If she were governor just imagine how many hundreds of thousands of tax payers would leave, and how many illegals would come? CA would be bankrupt in a year....oh wait, we already are.

State Department issues 'worldwide caution' alert for Americans
Posted on: 2024-05-17 14:36:01   By: Anonymous
 

Because President Biden will pay terrorist for any American LGBTQIA+ hostage the Department of State is aware of the increased potential for foreign terrorist organization-inspired violence against LGBTQIA+ persons and events and advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution," the alert states.
So please, all of those who violently protested on any college campus with signs praising Hamas like , LGBTQIA+ STANDS WITH HAMAS, please bring those signs, tee-shirts, and let yourselves shine with your stance. Allah and his supporters would really like you with them to the very end.

          Hi all, I recommend you to check out the review of The Good AI by https://nocramming.com/the-good-ai-review, it was very informative and helped me to understand how this AI tool can help me in writing texts. The review covers all aspects, from the ease of use to the quality of the content generated by artificial intelligence. Based on the positive reviews, I decided to use The Good AI, and it exceeded my expectations. The tool is intuitive and provides excellent assistance in writing texts, increasing my productivity.

            It's really interesting. If only because I need to write my nursing essay for me https://www.nursingpaper.com/ to turn in my assignment on time. And this recommendation is very useful for me.
