According to "matmiss" on DeathValley.com talk forum, Panamint Valley Road is now open, but according to the Death Valley Morning Report, the Wildrose Road in lower canyon CLOSED to through traffic. No mention of the status of the Trona-Wildrose Road either:
[The Panamint Valley Road] is in amazingly good shape considering how many places the water crossed the pavement. The part that suffered a bunch from undercutting is actually uphill by Indian Ranch Road and the T intersection - so they removed the broken pavement and lowered the road "to grade" so that next time the water can cross over the road instead of undercutting it. 1.7 mi. of graded (smooth!) gravel, and a detour to use when they pave it - so that road should not be closed again for a while. Some serious equipment parked there. Yeah!!
Some fun photos from the Lee Flat area of Death Valley:
