Quincy, CA – The California Highway Patrol has issued a traffic advisory for State Route 89 at Little Truckee Summit after a rock and mud slide blocked sections of the roadway Wednesday morning.
According to CHP–Quincy, the slide occurred along SR-89 near the summit area, prompting CALTRANS crews and heavy equipment to respond to the scene. Officials did not immediately say how long the closure would last or if any vehicles were caught in the debris.
Motorists traveling between Truckee and Sierraville are advised to seek alternate routes, as cleanup and stabilization work is expected to continue through the day. Visibility and road conditions in the area may be impacted by lingering wet weather, which could increase the risk of additional slides.
Drivers should monitor the latest road updates through Caltrans’ QuickMap or local traffic advisories before heading out.
