Hi Casty! Caltrans quickmap data shows 38 closed and that is why it is showing closed here. I am under the impression that it is NOT closed and is only 1 way controlled traffic. In any case, what you see here on SCM will be aligned with Caltrans quickmap (with some added features such as delays, congestion, etc).

Thanks SoCalMtn Alert, there was a slide down near the FFalls turn-off so maybe that's why 38 was closed earlier...

Trail Rider, FYI... I saw the press release last week from Caltrans that said the 38 was going to flagging only and no more closures. This morning Caltrans had the 38 closed, however, now they show it open so I imagine that Caltrans had it wrong within their system (which is where we get our data).

Trail Rider, the ROADS page shows realtime info from CalTrans and Google. The past couple of days 38 has not been closed but today it is showing closed.

Hey TR
I came up the 38 yesterday ~400 pm, no concerns
bullet Trail Rider on Wednesday 01 April 2026 - 07:16:12
Anyone know if 38 to Redlands is still closed? CalTrans is saying no restrictions however I'm not sure about that. Husband is supposed to pull trailer down 38 today. Thanks in advance.

Yes, NASA's launching Artemis II astronauts to the moon on April Fools' Day. It's not a joke. No, they are not landing 'ON' the Moon, just a 10 day fly around it. [Click Here] -Info posted on '...launches' thread
