Yosemite, CA — Some traffic information for your Memorial weekend.

If you’re headed to Yosemite, snow and high winds are shutting down all 3 mountain passes.

This morning Caltrans closed down Highway 120 Tioga Pass from Yosemite National Park to five miles west of the 395 Junction. Yesterday, both Highway 108 Sonora Pass at Kennedy Meadows, and Highway 4 Ebbetts Pass at the Mount Reba turnoff due to the winter like weather.

Caltrans officials say crews are continually checking the passes and they could opened at anytime.
