Due to road construction along the Generals Highway in Sequoia National Park, vehicles 22 feet or longer will be prohibited between Hospital Rock and Giant Forest Museum in the park beginning Wednesday.
The Federal Highway Administration is reconstructing a segment of the Generals Highway between Amphitheater Point Overlook and Crystal Cave Road (Deer Ridge to Eleven Range). During construction, the FHWA will close one lane of the highway by use of K rail. This will cause the highway to be narrowed, and unable to safely accommodate vehicles over 22 feet. The highway closure is being extended to the nearest turn around locations for vehicles of that size to the south at Hospital Rock and north at Giant Forest Museum.
Highway 180, the northern entrance to these parks, is the preferred route for these longer vehicles.
