Sequoia National Forest Emergency Flood Response
Publication Type: Closures 06/05/2023

Update (6/3/23) - Caltrans has installed concrete barriers to prevent traffic from traveling on the damaged section of the roadway.  One-way controlled traffic is being allowed on the open lane.  Expect a 10-to-15 minute delay.

Hwy 155.   The repairs necessary for 155 won't be completed until February or March 2024, however two of the three damaged sections on Highway 155 between Alta Sierra and Wofford Heights could allow for one-way traffic through the repair projects by late summer "as a way to get connection between the communities again,"
