About 9 PM last night the paving was finished to the Portal , This AM the final layer was started in town and will take 5-7 days to finish the paving operation.
Still delays on the road and you may have several since finishing work requires grinding to smooth the base layer.
OK BRING A JACKET freezing now on the upper elevation 1/4' of ice at Trail Camp night before last and reports of ice at the cables so if you start early morning WATCH FOR BLACK ICE!!!!!A ny time you cross water it may look like water on the rock but it could be ICE.
Gloves/headgear will also be needed or you can use socks as hand cover,and wrap a t-shirt over your head is enough since it will only be cold for a few hours. But have a good wind breaker and a base layer.
