bigrid.jpg Although north and southbound lanes on the Golden State (5) Freeway in the Newhall Pass have opened following Friday's deadly crash and fire, the truck tunnel beneath the roadway remains indefinitely closed until it's repaired, Caltrans officials said Tuesday.

Meanwhile, cars and trucks will share the freeway the road, that was closed over the weekend from a 31-vehicle pile-up Friday on the southbound truck bypass. Authorities have installed braces in the tunnel for extra support.
