MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif., June 5, 2024 – Inyo National Forest, Devils Postpile National Monument, and partner agencies managing the Reds Meadow Road Reconstruction Project are on target for the summer 2024 schedule starting Friday, June 7.
A Forest Order is in place closing the road Monday through Thursday, while keeping it open Friday through Sunday. During holiday weekends, there are extended public access hours (see schedule chart below). Vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian access is prohibited whenever the road is closed.
The mandatory ESTA Shuttle Bus (Eastern Sierra Transit Authority) from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for public access will still be in effect. Personal vehicles will be permitted outside of these times, as is normally.
One exception to the below schedule is on opening day June 7, and the following Friday June 14, the road will open at 7:00 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. This is due to the contractors not needing to move heavy equipment the night prior on these two particular days.
