More rock slides on Highway 50 along Lake Tahoe shoreline
Submitted by paula on Tue, 02/07/2017 - 12:40pm
Two boulders came down onto Highway 50 in the Logan Creek area of Lake Tahoe again on Tuesday, close to the same exact area as Monday's large boulder slide.
No vehicles were involved and there were no injuries.
Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) crews were able to remove one of the new boulders this morning. A contractor, Sierra Nevada Construction, is on the scene right now, evaluating how the larger boulder will be taken off the highway according the Meg Ragonese of NDOT.
She said both of Tuesday's boulders are much larger than a passenger vehicle.
With the heavy rainfall in Lake Tahoe there is an increased chance of rock slides and avalanches.
This is a developing story and will be updated once more information becomes available.
