With construction started in the U.S. 50 Cave Rock tunnel, travelers need to know restrictions now that both lanes of traffic go through the eastbound tunnel.
Because of the slope of the interior to the tunnel, no oversized vehicles or oversized loads are allowed (wider than 8’6″ and taller than 14’6″). Most buses and RVs are smaller than these restricted sized, and have been able to travel through the tunnel safely according to Meg Ragonese, Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) Public Information Officer.
