State Route 108 (Sonora Pass) Reopens from Winter Closure

MONO COUNTY — Caltrans opened State Route 108 (Sonora Pass) from its winter closure today, June 9, at 1:00 pm. The highway was originally closed for the season on November 10, 2022. The reopening of Sonora Pass is a joint operation between Caltrans District 9 and Caltrans District 10 and follows weeks of snow and debris removal from the highway. At 211 days, this is the longest closure of Sonora Pass since the 2004/2005 season, when it was closed for 220 days.

While the highway is open, vehicles traveling over Sonora Pass may encounter water on the highway from the seasonal runoff. Drivers should reduce their speed to travel safely through these areas.

With the summer travel season upon us, now is the best time to download the Quickmap app to your iOS or Android device. The app gives users the latest information on road conditions on the California State Highway System, including lane closures, road closures, and rest area availability. Before you hit the road this year, plan your trip with the Quickmap app or website at quickmap.dot.ca.gov. You can also call the Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
