Boulders come down on US50 over Echo Summit, One lane of traffic for a few hours

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Rain over Echo Summit caused rocks to fall onto the roadway Sunday, with crews staying in the area for hours to clear debris if needed. While the rocks this morning were easily removed, large boulders fell onto the road Sunday night and they will have to be blasted.

As of 10;00 p.m. Sunday, Caltrans said to expect delays for up to four hours.

"Boulders will need to be blasted to clear the roadway on Highway 50 over Echo Summit," Caltrans said on Twitter about 10:00 p.m. "One-way traffic control for several hours to clear the roadway. ETO is 4 hours for full opening.'
