Crews Expect To Clear Rockslide Off Yosemite Freeway By Saturday

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (AP) — A busy highway in Yosemite National Park is set to reopen, just a week after house-side boulders crashed down on it during last week's storm.

Park officials say the Big Oak Flat Road portion of Highway 120 will be cleared by 8 a.m. Saturday.

The park's roads and trails crew have been working to clear the busy highway used by visitors driving in from Northern California. The road will have a gravel surface for weekend traffic, and visitors are urged to drive slowly through the area.

During next week, the crew plans to close the road again to repave the damaged area.
