LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Public access to several county roads within the Station Fire burn area were closed to traffic Saturday as a result of icy road conditions.

-- Table Mountain Road from Angeles Crest Highway;
-- Angeles Forest Highway from Aliso Canyon Road to Angeles Crest Highway;

To allow snow-enthusiasts to reach fresh powder, Public Works officials said they plan to prioritize the opening of Big Tujunga Canyon Road from Big Tujunga Dam to Angeles Forest Highway and Angeles Forest Highway from Big Tujunga Canyon Road to Angeles Crest Highway.

Limited access is currently available on the following partially opened roads:
