It seems Calltrans may have modified their Facebook post regarding the status of the 38.

As of today, Caltrans' Facebook post (dated December 22nd) announcing the opening of the 38 has this statement at the bottom, without ANY closure hours:

"Closure details after the moratorium: Work is planned to resume shortly, but the route will continue to remain open until further notice."

My question is, is 38 open or closed? The Caltrans news says closed between. 7am till 5 pm. So what is it? Should I stay or should I go?

CALTRANS UPDATE:
State Route 2 in Wrightwood is now open from State Route 138 to Big Pines Highway. Angelus Crest Highway, SR-2, will remain closed from Big Pines Highway to Glenwood Camp Road in Los Angeles County. Check [Click Here] for road conditions. #Caltrans8 #Wrightwood [Click Here]

I also just came up the 38. It was wide open and there were only a few of us driving up. More cars driving down but still pretty sparse .

Went down 38 today at 9:30am, road is open all the way down. They were setting up for a lane closure but still open.

I went down 38 yesterday at 3:30pm to Angeles Oaks, open and no check points. Checked with Caltrans this morning, no closure.
