The department had planned on a Nov. 19 winter closure of the high-elevation forest roadways.

Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road will remain closed until the Road Department can remove the snow that has accumulated over the winter and spring. Typically, both roadways are opened ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.
