I would have thought the reopening of Angeles Crest Highway would have been bigger news.  This is the first time I've seen it referenced on a mainstream hobby page.  I've seen plenty of mentions in some driving enthusiast groups I'm part of.

When I lived in L.A., I used to drive that a lot, and the part that was closed, east of Islip Saddle, had very little traffic. And it generally closed every winter, and multiple times since 2000 stayed closed through a summer. I guess everyone just got used to thinking of it as a couple of nice dead end roads into the mountains.
