Beginning Thursday, October 29 crews will begin working on a slide stabilization located approximately 1-mile north of the Wawona Campground. As part of this stabilization there will be two 4-hour closures each day with a 1-hour opening period between the two 4-hour closures. These closures will extend for 3-weeks and they will be from 8AM to Noon and from 1PM to 5PM each work day through November 18. The Wawona Road will be closed at the Chilnualna Falls Road on the south end and Henness Ridge Drive on the north end of the closure area. The reason for these 4-hour closures is for safety to prevent vehicles from being hit by slide material or blast rock as the crews work to remove the loose rocks and boulders from this active slide area.
Summary of Delays/Closures:
Monday thru Friday
10/29/20 thru 11/18/20 = 4 Hour Closures (8AM to Noon & 1PM to 5PM)
11/19/20 thru 12/31/20 = 30 Minute Delays
