Reno, NV – A major traffic disruption is unfolding Monday afternoon as State Route 341, also known as Geiger Grade, remains closed in both directions following a serious crash near Washoe County mile marker three.
According to the Nevada State Police, the closure began around 1:40 p.m. on October 27, 2025, after a vehicle overturned just below the Geiger Lookout Point. Crews are currently on scene working to clear the roadway and manage traffic in the steep mountain area connecting Reno to Virginia City.
Authorities say the closure is affecting both lanes, with drivers urged to avoid the area entirely and seek alternate routes. No immediate details on injuries or the cause of the crash were released as of early afternoon.
Officials expect the closure and resulting delays to continue for several hours while recovery operations are completed and safety inspections are made along the route.
Motorists traveling between Reno and Virginia City should monitor Nevada State Police and NDOT updates for reopening times.
