NPS UPDATE:
“October 15th is our target date to provide access from the west side of the park through Lone Pine, California. When the park does reopen, visitors will be able to enter on highway CA-136 and continuing through the park on CA-190 with access to Panamint Springs, Stovepipe Wells Village, and the Furnace Creek area.
Keep in mind this reopening date depends on several factors, including future weather events and the availability of materials to fix the road. When this section of CA-190 reopens, drivers should anticipate multiple 24-hour traffic control points where repair work is ongoing.
CA-190 east of Furnace Creek to Death Valley Junction and CA-90 between Olancha and CA-136 received extensive damage and will remain closed beyond October 15th.
On behalf of the staff and partners of Death Valley National Park, we are grateful for your patience and support as we have been working to reopen the park.”

Pic of just how much of 190 is gone heading out of Furnace towards DVJ:
So… sounds like one way in/out and multiple single lane sections? Should be interesting….
