One of the three major highways into Yosemite National Park could possibly be closed into the summer.
Park officials say Big Oak Flat Road, the continuation of Highway 120 into Yosemite, is closed between the park boundary and Merced Grove due to a crack in the road.
Officials say the embankment below the road has also moved about 15 feet downslope and water is flowing through it. The park will be working with the Federal Highway Administration to start repairs but the road is expected to be closed until at least mid-June and possibly into July.
