Lake Tahoe, NV – Nevada State Police have reopened one westbound lane on U.S. 50 near Cave Rock following an earlier closure Monday afternoon. The update came at 2:23 p.m. on October 27, as troopers confirmed intermittent traffic flow through the area.
According to Nevada State Police, drivers should still expect significant delays and periodic closures for the next three to four hours while crews continue work near the tunnel area.
The incident, affecting a key corridor along Lake Tahoe’s southeast shoreline, has created congestion for both local and through traffic between Stateline and Carson City. Authorities are urging motorists to plan alternate routes or expect slow-moving traffic into the early evening.
Travelers are advised to monitor Nevada State Police social channels for live updates as conditions may change rapidly.
