Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion US 395 closed north of Bridgeport

Bodie, Bodie? Are you kidding us? No way! You guys are lost.

Just follow the posted detour signs. The detour southbound takes Nevada route 208, just north of Topaz to Smith and then 338 and 182 to Bridgeport. Northbound is the reverse: 182 from Bridgeport to 338 to Smith and then 208 back to US 395 north of Topaz. The road is not as fast as 395, but not bad and takes about an hour. I've done it, and my wife will be using the detour to get to Minden from Bishop this morning.

The much longer alternative is between Carson City to Bishop via 50, 95 and 6. Adds a couple of hours to the trip.
