Excellent!!! I know that they have an avalanche crew working ahead of the plows but it would still make me nervous as heck. Seems to me that all that vibration and everything would make it awful easy to get swept over the edge.

Nice. That is going to take awhile, and that is just the Caltrans working the road to the gate.

June 6, 2017 (updated about twice per week)
National Park Service road crews (plowing eastbound) and Caltrans road crews (plowing westbound) have met at Tioga Pass. Within the park, road crews are working on parking lots, side roads, and portions of the road that are only plowed one lane wide. Crews are also removing debris from the roadway, culverts, and ditches. Three avalanche zones are still active...

Road opening is not imminent; much work still remains before the road will be safe to open. The Tioga Road is closed from South Fork Bridge (6.5 miles east of Tuolumne Grove/NatureBridge in the Crane Flat area) to Tioga Pass.
