Grapevine snow: CHP escorts underway

LOS ANGELES - Both directions of the Grapevine on the 5 Freeway reopened on Tuesday morning following an overnight closure due to wintry weather conditions. 

On Monday around 9 p.m., Caltrans closed the northbound lanes of the 5 Freeway at Parker Road in Castaic, along with a 40-mile stretch of the southbound lanes in the Grapevine area.

By Tuesday morning, the California Highway Patrol was escorting traffic through the Grapevine and by 6:25 a.m., the freeway reopened in both directions. However, officials warned drivers the roadway remains slippery. 

Caltrans also said sections of 58 Highway were also closed due to the snow that fell late Monday night between Towerline Road and Highway 14.
