Wawona Road Rehabilitation (May 3 - November 2010):
**Please use caution when driving along the Wawona Road - there are a number of locations with unpaved surfaces.
CHANGE IN SCHEDULE:
Wawona Road Construction Delays Extended to Include Friday and Saturday Nights. Work is scheduled to occur between Sunday nights at 9:00 pm and Saturday mornings at 6:00 am. Additionally, work will occur on Saturday from 9:00 pm - Sunday morning at 6:00 am. 60-minute delays are scheduled nightly from 11:00 pm - 6:00 am. Although wait times are scheduled, expect overall slow travel times through the construction zone (due to following a pilot car, driving over unpaved areas, and waiting in lines of traffic) to increase beyond what is scheduled.
*Today's locations of work (9/10): There will be placement of aggregate on shoulders in the 5 mile area that begins a mile north of the Wawona Campground. There will also be surveying in the area that begins approximately 3 miles north of the South Entrance and runs to a mile north of the Wawona Campground.
*Tonight's locations of work (9/10): On Friday night, there will be paving in the 2 mile area that runs south of the Glacier Point Road intersection (Chinquapin).
