Coverage details

Covers reported I-5 conditions from listed sources — some nearby roads aren't monitored. See what's included.

This page shows full-road conditions reported by MountainSwitch's listed I-5 sources, including District 7 and District 6 feed rows outside the reviewed Grapevine / Tejon Pass spans.

Those route-wide reports don't expand the Grapevine / Tejon Pass answer. That answer covers the two county-strict I-5 intervals from Parker Road to the Los Angeles / Kern county line and from the Kern county reset to the I-5 / SR-99 separation at Wheeler Ridge; Lake Hughes Road and Grapevine Road remain the northbound and southbound operational gates. I-5 rows outside those spans remain route-level only. SR-58, SR-166, SR-46, SR-41, and US-101 are detour context only and never part of the Grapevine / Tejon Pass answer.

Conditions can change quickly in the mountains. This page never replaces chain requirements, closures, or official Caltrans guidance. This boundary supports no claim about detour routes, community roads, reopening timing, or any road outside the two reviewed county-strict I-5 intervals. Northbound and southbound conditions can differ, and neither surface makes a safe-to-drive or all-clear claim.
