Interstate 5 is finally open after being closed at the Grapevine this morning due to snow and icy conditions, and it has been shut down since last night.

A key stretch of Interstate 5 closed after a snowstorm swept through Southern California, Caltrans said. The California Department of Transportation closed the freeway around 12:15 a.m. Monday after snow and ice made the Grapevine impassable. “ I-5 will remain closed until the snow stops and the roadway is snow and ice-free,” Caltrans posted on X.

The 5 Freeway through Grapevine connecting Los Angeles and Kern counties was shut down for more than 13 hours Sunday night and Monday morning due to snow and icy conditions, less than a week after another closure of the same roadway was prompted by a nearby wildfire,
