Caltrans Has Closed State Route 120 W at Lee Vining Gate Ahead of Potential Snowstorm

MONO COUNTY – Caltrans closed the Lee Vining gate on State Route 120 W at 8:30 this morning ahead of an incoming storm that is anticipated to bring snow to the Sierra Nevada. State Route 108/Sonora Pass was closed yesterday. There is no estimated time for when either route will reopen.

Caltrans currently plans to keep State Route 89/Monitor Pass open. However, that could change should the severity of the storm require its closure.
With the potential for snow, drivers are reminded to keep a set of snow chains in their vehicles. Even vehicles equipped with snow tires need to keep these on hand as certain chain requirement levels will necessitate their use.
