SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Just before noon Wednesday the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reopened State Route 89 around Emerald Bay. Snow slides covered the roadway on Monday, forcing the closure of one of two routes between the north and south shores of Lake Tahoe.
Motorists should still use caution when traveling roads in the Sierra as other small snow slides have been reported along Highway 50 at Echo Summit as well as SR89.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Highway 50 over Echo Summit has been closed all afternoon due to snow slides across the highway. State Route 89 around Emerald Bay is also closed due to snow slides in that area as well.
Travelers may have been hoping for an April Fools Day joke when they saw the road closures signs go up on a day free of snow showers, but it wasn't.
