CalTrans has begun road work on Highway 270 to Bodie State Historic Park, removing the old paved surface and repaving. The work entails closing one land of the road at a time, and there will be delays of no longer than 20 minutes. Work will take place every week day, but on weekends and on the Friday before and the Tuesday after Memorial Day weekend (5/27 and 5/31) the road will be open with no construction work or delays. The barrier at the beginning of the dirt section of the road has been removed, but conditions in the town itself remain muddy and snowy.
