Caltrans Reopens Monitor Pass from Winter Closure

MONO COUNTY — Caltrans reopened State Route 89 (Monitor Pass) from its winter closure today at noon. It originally closed for the season on January 2. Maintenance crews from Caltrans Districts 9 and 10 began excavating the highway on April 1 and finished clearing snow from the road this week.

Inclement weather may still be in the forecast and Caltrans will close the highway again should conditions warrant it.
