Construction crews are working day and night to repair the Big Oak Flat Road (continuation of Hwy 120 into Yosemite Valley). The road has been closed since February 21, after winter storms and ground saturation caused slope movement and a large fissure in the road. Crews have dug down approximately 40 feet, and are installing drainage pipes to allow underground water to drain down the hillside. Once the digging is complete and engineering plans are finalized, crews will rebuild the roadbed to allow traffic on the road.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
