Caltrans relayed that the gate at Kennedy Meadows on Highway 108 will reopen at noon today. They noted, “Changeable Message Signs (CMS) will display information regarding the pass closures for motorists. Caltrans urges motorists not to pass snow-removal equipment on the highway, to use caution, and to watch for icy road surfaces overnight and in the early morning.”
