It seems Calltrans may have modified their Facebook post regarding the status of the 38.

As of today, Caltrans' Facebook post (dated December 22nd) announcing the opening of the 38 has this statement at the bottom, without ANY closure hours:

"Closure details after the moratorium: Work is planned to resume shortly, but the route will continue to remain open until further notice."

See the Facebook post for yourself here: [Click Here]

My question is, is 38 open or closed? The Caltrans news says closed between. 7am till 5 pm. So what is it? Should I stay or should I go?

I also just came up the 38. It was wide open and there were only a few of us driving up. More cars driving down but still pretty sparse .

Spectr - when I went DTH today, the road closed signs at Jenks West and East were going, but still up at Glass Road.... There was actually a backhoe working at Glass.... Perhaps there was some maintenance on Jenks that's now completed
