The Big Oak Flat Road, one of Yosemite's major thoroughfares,from just inside the park boundary to Merced Grove. The closure is due to a large crack in the roadway. Park officials and crews with the Federal Highway Administration are set to begin repair work this month, and while restoration efforts are expected to be finished by mid-June, park officials say the repairs may extend into July.
Motorists entering the park from the west along Highway 120 can still use the road to access Hodgdon Meadow and Hetch Hetchy, but most areas — including Yosemite Valley — will be inaccessible. However, from Yosemite Valley, visitors can use Big Oak Flat Road to access the Tuolumne and Merced groves of giant sequoias.
