今年1月17日に閉鎖してから、わずか4ヶ月弱後に開通という、記録破りの短い冬でした。

Tioga Road (Hwy 120 through the park) is closed
The Tioga Road (Highway 120 through the park from Crane Flat to Tioga Pass) is closed due to snow. It will open for the season on Monday, May 7 at noon. (Yosemite Valley is accessible via Highway 120 from the west.)

この道路作業は、通常1~2週間程度かかります。ので、5月5日と11日の間に開通と思われます。
今年は雪が少なかったこともあり、5月5日の可能性が高そうです。

The Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park will open for the season on tomorrow, Friday, April 20, at 5:00 p.m. There will be limited visitor services available at Glacier Point. Vault toilets will be available, and there will be no running water. There is no projected opening date for the Bridalveil Creek Campground.
The roadway may be wet due to melting snow and wildlife may be present on or near the road. Visitors are urged to drive with caution while in the park. The Glacier Point Road is subject to unexpected and temporary closures due to unpredictable spring storms that may produce snow at the higher elevations of the park.
Due to snow, ice, and avalanche conditions, the Tioga Road will remain closed. There is no projected opening date for the Tioga Road at this time.
今期の冬は、Tioga Roadのクローズで記録を作りましたが、GP Rd.の開通日でも記録を作りそうです(ほぼ確定)。
