The southbound Interstate 15 lanes were reopened Monday morning after being shut down from Baker to the Mountain Pass for approximately four hours.
The southbound lanes were reopened just before 1:30 p.m., some two hours after the northbound lanes were reopened, according to California Highway Patrol spokesperson Steven Rogers.
The closure began at 9:30 a.m. and was in place from Kelbaker Road to Yates Well Road.
“It’s unknown at this time the length of time it will be closed,” Rogers said after the northbound lanes were reopened. “Once weather clears up and road conditions improve, we can open back up.”

California Highway Patrol officers from the Barstow office are investigating two fatal crashes, including one involving multiple vehicles on Interstate 15 on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s crash occurred a little after 5 p.m. south of Yates Well Road. It involved an unidentified man driving a stolen Chevrolet pickup truck on northbound I-15 in the No. 1 lane.
According to the CHP, the driver “for unknown reasons … turned left, crossed the dirt center divider” and entered the southbound lanes, crashing into an Acura SUV.
“The impact caused the Chevrolet to spin out across the southbound lanes where it struck a concrete wall and became disabled,” the CHP said.
