Yes, Mulholland Highway and the area around The Snake is finally open so go out there and drive So-Cal!
See Updates below!
Update 3/26/2019- It looks like, as of this writing, Mulholland Highway is currently closed off with K-rails.
It’s been close to a full month since Mulholland Highway, more specifically the area around “The Snake” was burned badly and subsequently had to be shutdown by CHP for safety reasons. But according to Mulholland Highway aficionado and frequent videographer around that area @Rnickeymouse via his Instagram post earlier yesterday (Dec. 24,2018) it looks like the Mulholland Highway is finally open thanks to L.A. County workers and your tax dollars at work.

Earlier this month I wrote about what Mulholland Highway looked like shortly after the fire and it looked absolutely scorched with a lot of the road markings not even visible, which was a big part of why they shut down the highway in the first place.
With the recent rains that have swept through California, it looks like the roads are now clean. Plus, with fresh lines marking where the edge of the roads are, drivers and riders can safely see where they’re going, which is important when navigating a twisty canyon road.
It looks like the paint is still fresh as one rider in the comments mentioned he almost slipped on fresh paint near The Rock Store, a popular hangout near Mulholland Highway.
So, if you’re planning on going to Mulholland Highway for a drive this Christmas and beyond, make sure your car is in tip-top shape, follow the lines, stay in your lane, and drive safely!
Also, Merry Christmas!

This road is not open it’s hard closed with krails….
Thanks for the udpate, I’ve put up an update as of today. Any details? When it’ll open MH will open up again?
This road was still closed as of June 1. I assumed once the bridge was open, so would the rest of Mulholland. It’s nice the bridge is open but does me no good if I can’t get up to Kanan or access Mulholland going east/south of Kanan.
Wondering if The Snake’s open yet 6/10/20?
No. Hard closed. See the jalopnik article. Seems they are not in a hurry to open it.
