Keep in mind that:
The roads that are being opened are not yet fully repaired. Collapsed road segments have been filled in with gravel. Travelers should expect loose gravel on roads, lowered speed limits, and traffic delays. CA-190 will have one-hour delays due to an extensive section of one-lane traffic control between Panamint Springs and Father Crowley Vista. Several other places will have delays of up to 20 minutes for traffic control. 

So if coming from the West you will likely have a long wait.  Or come in from Trona.

From the link, this photo is uploaded by the NPS onto the webpage.
   
Interesting how most unpaved roads aren't highlighted at all (open or closed) but Greenwater Road is indicated as closed.  Perhaps that is to emilinate any initial dispersed camping.
