Yosemite officials tell KFSN-TV that Highway 140 near Yosemite National Park is set to reopen at 6 p.m. Saturday evening after a rockslide closed one of the main access points to the park earlier in the week.

KFSN-TV reports that The Yosemite park staff and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) staff assessed the site Friday and deemed it safe for park personnel to begin removing the rubble left behind by the rockslide.
