Road between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Closed for Emergency Repair

SEQUOIA AND KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARKS – The road between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks is closed for emergency road repair. A sink hole near Stoney Creek in the Sequoia National Forest has become visible in one lane of traffic on the Generals Highway and there is undermined roadway across both lanes. The hole is near a roadway area that was severely damaged during winter storms in 2023. Crews will attempt to make repairs tonight, but it is unclear whether the road will be reopened by tomorrow. For current road conditions please call 559-565-3341.
