Grapevine reopens late Wednesday afternoon
Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, CHP reported they reopened the Grapevine with escorts.
On Wednesday afternoon SkyCAL captured aerial shots showing the massive line of vehicles on the I-5 Freeway as they waited for the Grapevine to reopen after it was closed early morning due to heavy snowfall.
Caltrans reported they had opened a couple of spots in the higher portion of the Grapevine and now the lower level at Castaic is open.
Portions of the I-5 and 138 Freeways were closed Wednesday, leaving one alternate open – through Ventura County.
