Two boulders the size of cars fell onto State Route 28 Friday morning after a rockslide in the area near Sand Harbor.
The Nevada Highway Patrol received a call on July 10 at 8:30 a.m. about a rockslide blocking the lanes near Sand Harbor.
Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) crews worked to remove the boulders, and by 1:30 p.m. the road was reopened according to Meg Ragonese of NDOT.
“During storms, we want to remind drivers to be extra cautious on mountainous roads,” Ragonese said.
No injuries were reported.
