rock slide

A rock slide near Johnson Pass Road closed both lanes of Highway 50 at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday evening. Most of the rocks could be moved to the side of the road, but two large boulders had to wait for heavy equipment to be pushed off the roadway according to the California Highway Patrol.

Both lanes were closed but Caltrans is now allowing intermittent traffic through. As of 7:30 p.m., one large boulder remained. They expected to be done with that boulder by 7:30 p.m.

8:15 p.m. update: Highway 50 through Cave Rock is now open and clear. All rocks have been cleared away.

According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, just after 6:00 p.m., several rocks fell onto the roadway, the largest too heavy to be moved by one of their patrol cars. They are now waiting for a bulldozer to clear the roadway.

NHP estimates for all to be cleared by 9:15 p.m.
