El Portal, CA — The National Park Service is reporting that a rockfall has closed a stretch of Highway 140 roughly 12 miles outside of Yosemite.

The road is closed in both directions. Officials say a geologist will survey the land. Boulders and trees will have to be removed from both lanes. There is no time estimate for reopening the road.

Drivers should plan to use alternate routes.
