Highway 140 rockslide - Caltrans Image
Mariposa, CA — Highway 140 is closed in Mariposa County between Bear Creek Bridge and Cedar Lodge due multiple rockslides that occurred on Sunday when a storm system passed through.
It is blocking access to Yosemite National Park for travelers on Highway 140. Caltrans reports that motorists need to find an alternate route for the time being. Yosemite can still be accessed via Highway 120 and Highway 41.
Cleanup and assessment efforts are ongoing, and there is no estimated reopening time.
