CHP begins escorts through section of Grapevine due to snow fall

Monday, April 3, 2023
GRAPEVINE, Calif. (KABC) -- CHP has begun conducting escorts through the Fort Tejon area of the Grapevine due to snow fall sticking to the ground there.

The escorts come the same the day the 5 Freeway over the Grapevine completely reopened after it underwent overnight repairs throughout the weekend after a piece of the roadway collapsed due to a landslide.

Snow showers were expected throughout the day in the mountain communities, but the area was expected to get 1 to 2 inches at most.



Traffic in the Fort Tejon area is expected to be heavy, so drivers are asked to be patient or avoid the roadway if possible.
