(Information obtained from MCSO twitter account)

It is no longer on the chp website, and a BSF person just confirmed that the road is open, but this is all very fluid re openings and closings, so check the chp website before traveling. Remember the road is closed at Mule Canyon, just north of Deetjens all the way to the elephant seal vista and that the gates at Paul’s Slide, just south of Lucia are closed. Please stay off the highways today.
