EBBETTS PASS (STATE ROUTE 4) AND SONORA PASS (STATE ROUTE 108) TO CLOSE

Alpine and Tuolumne Counties– Due to the forecasted adverse weather conditions, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close State Route 4 over Ebbett’s Pass and State Route 108 over Sonora Pass on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, at 12:00 p.m. (noon).
