I can do one better, I was just there today...(snuck out of work) and it's closed to cars for now. There was road crew out there putting some fresh paint down (they were working on a new double yellow stripe down the middle and finishing up some fun new white shoulder markers). They didn't stop me as they were painting and waved to me as I went by. On my way down I had a brief talk with a ranger and a hiker. The ranger said it was scheduled to open to cars on the first.. and It definitely looked ready, the painting crew was more than 75% done putting down the lines up the road. So get out there and enjoy it while you can!
