Schedule changes will keep the Generals Highway open through Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks on weekends/NPS

Work schedule modifications have allowed for necessary work on the Generals Highway in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks in California to be completed without disrupting park and forest visitors with weeknight road closures.

A completion date for this 16-mile Generals Highway Rehabilitation Project has not been set, and visitors should continue to factor in delay schedules and possible unpaved sections of road to their trip planning.

The construction zone begins at the Generals Highway and Highway 180 junction (Wye) in Kings Canyon National Park, progressing south along the Generals Highway through Sequoia National Forest, and concluding at Little Baldy Saddle in the northern area of Sequoia National Park. This project has also included repaving of the Wolverton Road and its parking area. 

Updated Delay Schedule

Schedule may change at any time due to weather or emergencies.

Monday - Friday from 5 a.m. - 6 a.m.

Up to 20-minute delays.

Monday - Friday from 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. (5 p.m. on Fridays)

Up to 1-hour delays. 

Monday - Thursday from 8 p.m. - 5 a.m.

Up to 20-minute delays.

Weekends and Holidays

No delays when both lanes are open. When highway is limited to one lane, expect delays up to 20 minutes. No work will take place from 5:00 p.m. Friday to 6:00 a.m. Monday.  

Traffic may be stopped at multiple points along the 16-mile construction zone, but the combined duration of these delays should not exceed the expected delay times listed above.
