Caltrans Reopens 395 Between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UPDATE:
U.S. Highway 395 Reopens Between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop
INYO AND MONO COUNTIES — U.S. Highway 395 has reopened in both directions to traffic between the junction with State Route 203 and Bishop. The highway is now closed from the junction with State Route 203 to the junction with State Route 182 in Bridgeport.
Due to blizzard conditions and avalanche concerns in the Eastern Sierra, Caltrans closed a large portion of U.S. Highway 395 in Inyo and Mono counties late last night. Maintenance crews are working to reopen the rest of the highway when conditions permit.
Caltrans reminds everyone to remove any snow that has accumulated on top of their vehicle before driving. Make sure your vehicle is packed with traction control devices, such as snow chains. Chain control restrictions are currently in place for many parts of Mono and Inyo counties, including on U.S. 395, U.S. 6, State Route 158 South, State Route 203, State Route 182, State Route 167, and State Route 168.
Chain control restrictions are subject to change throughout the day as the storm continues to pass through our area. For the latest information on road conditions, including chain controls, please visit the Caltrans QuickMap website at quickmap.dot.ca.gov or download the QuickMap app to your iOS or Android device. You can also call the Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
