YOSEMITE – Road construction on the Tioga Road in Yosemite National Park began this week, and will continue through Sept. 30, 2015.
This two-year rehabilitation project is a multi-phased construction project that encompasses improvements to the Tuolumne Grove Parking Lot and the Tioga Road Corridor.
This phase of the rehabilitation work will include a 15-mile segment along the road from the Crane Flat Intersection to just east of White Wolf.
The construction work will include improvements to culvert drainages, road grading and pavement resurfacing, new signage, and road striping.
There will be traffic control operations with flaggers and/or pilot cars directing traffic through the construction zone for the entirety of the project. Crews will be working in multiple locations along the Tioga Road throughout the project. There will be no work on weekends or holidays.
