4000-ton landslide forced to block the main road leading to Yosemite National Park.

Park staff said that El Portal Road and Arch Rock Entrance highway number xnumx will be closed on weekends. It is not clear when they will clear the road.

A massive landslide occurred at noon on Monday, 1,6 km from the border of the park on the highway №140, according to data from Yosemite National Park.

The stones were separated from the rock and slid down 182 meters, more than 300 meters wide. About a third of the stones fell on El portal road. One of the boulders that fell on the roadway is estimated to weigh 130 tons.
