State Route 178 W (Walker Pass) Reopened
KERN COUNTY – At approximately 2:00 pm, State Route 178 W (Walker Pass) in eastern Kern County reopened from Kelso Valley Road to the junction with State Route 14. There are no chain restrictions.
Caltrans will post updates on other closures to its social media channels on Twitter and Facebook.
Before you leave home, check Quickmap.dot.ca.gov to get the latest on road conditions, including chain control restrictions. You can also call the Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
Because roads are slick, we ask that all drivers slow down and allow themselves plenty of time to reach their destinations safely. Caltrans also reminds drivers to move over for Caltrans crews, CHP, and other emergency vehicles. If you come across a snowplow on the highway, create enough space to keep yourself and our snowplow operators safe.
For those with sensory disabilities requiring alternate formats (i.e., Braille, large print, sign language interpreter, etc.) and those needing information in a language other than English, please contact Bob Gossman at (760) 881-7145 or TTY 711.
