What does the live feed show?
Every current Caltrans posting for US-395 between the Nevada state line and Bishop, in one stream: the verdict for the full corridor and for each of its three stretches, every closure and road work event, and the message signs exactly as they are posted on the road.
How current is this page?
The page rebuilds from the Caltrans District 9 feeds every two minutes, and the data layer underneath caches each feed for no more than two minutes, so what you see is never more than a few minutes behind Caltrans. Every verdict on the page carries the feed's own update time.
Where does the data come from?
Caltrans District 9, from the same public feeds behind QuickMap and the roadside signs: chain control postings, lane closures, and changeable message signs. Weather on this site comes from the National Weather Service. If this page and Caltrans ever disagree, Caltrans is right.
Why check here instead of just driving to the first sign?
Because on this corridor the first sign can be an hour into the drive, and there is no alternate route around Conway Summit or Deadman Summit. A wind prohibition or a closure read here, before you leave Bishop or Bridgeport, is a changed plan. Read for the first time at the summit, it is a long wait in a queue.
