Caltrans crews are working on all Sierra mountain passes in order to have them all open by Memorial Day. District 10 has been clearing snow and debris from mountain passes for several generations, tackling the task each spring on Ebbetts Pass/State Route 4, Monitor Pass/SR-89 and Sonora Pass/SR-108.
Removing snow and ice, pushing aside fallen trees and dead branches, dislodging boulders and mounds of rocks … those are just some of the challenges awaiting crews as they head up the highway to higher altitude.
On Friday, they announced the opening of SR89 over Monitor Pass. This will allow motorists to use Monitor Pass/SR-89 to journey between SR-88 to the north and U.S. Highway 395 to the south.
The Pima County Department of Transportation closed Madera Canyon Road at Box Canyon on Monday and said it would likely remain closed through Saturday.
